This can be used to +produce both 32 bit and 64 bit executables. MinGW-w64 is available from +http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net. + +You have to run mpv's configure with these arguments: + DEST_OS=win32 TARGET=i686-w64-mingw32 ./waf configure + +Using mingw-w64-cmake to setup a MinGW-w64 environment is recommended (this will +also build mpv and its dependencies): https://github.com/lachs0r/mingw-w64-cmake + +Alternatively, use MXE: http://mxe.cc + +Warning: the original MinGW (http://www.mingw.org) is unsupported. + +Note that MinGW environments included in Linux distributions are often broken, +outdated and useless, and usually don't use MinGW-w64. + +Example with MXE +---------------- + +```bash +# Download MXE. Note that compiling the required packages requires about 1 GB +# or more! + +cd /opt +git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe mingw +cd mingw + +# Edit the MXE target, so that MinGW-w64 for 32 bit targets is built. + +echo "MXE_TARGETS := i686-w64-mingw32" > settings.mk + +# Build required packages. The following provide a minimum required to build +# mpv. (Not all of the following packages are strictly required.) + +make gcc +make ffmpeg +make libass +make jpeg +make pthreads + +# Build mpv. The target will be used to automatically select the name of the +# build tools involved (e.g. it will use i686-w64-mingw32-gcc). + +git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv.git +cd mpv +export PATH=/opt/mingw/usr/bin/:$PATH +DEST_OS=win32 TARGET=i686-w64-mingw32 ./waf configure +./waf build +``` |
