In this blog, we will show the steps of building Mingw-w64 on macOS system. In fact, we can install mingw-w64 corss building toolchain by homebrew package manager. Here, we jsut analysis the building steps of mingw-w64 toolchain, and it can be easily migrated to linux system.

Overview​

We need to build following tools/libraries:

• binutils: "Binutils is a collection of binary programming tools used to assemble, link and manipulate binary and object files.", like gnu linker ld, gnu assembler as, nm, ar and strings. see more.
• texinfo: Apple's makeinfo is old and has bugs. It be only used as building dependency.
• gcc: compiler for c/c++/fortran language.
• mingw-w64: "The mingw-w64 project is a complete runtime environment for gcc to support binaries native to Windows 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems.". Provide windows api headers, runtime and other tools.
