4425 :: Cross-compiling from Linux to Windows using the -d:mingw flag

• lqdev (orginal) [2018-12-02T21:35:51+01:00] view original

  Hello,

  I am trying to cross-compile to Windows using the MinGW toolchain. Here's what I'm doing:

  $ nim c -d:mingw --cpu:amd64 src/uitest.nim
  Run

  However, a regular Linux executable is produced. How can I compile an exe file for Windows?

  This has worked for me: $ sudo apt-get install mingw-w64 $ nim --os:windows --cpu:amd64 --gcc.exe:x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc --gcc.linkerexe:x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc c src/uitest.nim

  If you use devel, this is now straightforward.
