It is recommended you install Cygwin if you wish to build cmgui on a windows machine as it makes the process much simpler. Once installed you can start up a shell and use all the usual linux commands (assuming you opted to install the relevant packages). You are probably better off looking at the more up to date Peter's notes on building cmguiĬygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. The following description was written towards the end of 2005 and is kept for posterity. need to be built for mingw if you do not consistently build for MinGW, you will receive a large number of linker errors at the end of compilation! This means that all additional libraries like wxwidgets, mesa etc. To achieve this, we note that MinGW is installed with cygwin and mingw binaries are built by passing the -mno-cygwin (''no cygwin'') switch to the GNU compilers and linker: the cmgui makefiles do this automatically under cygwin. Instead we build MinGW binaries which work directly with windows runtime libraries, i.e. However, we never build cygwin binaries which would would have an undesirable dependency on the cygwin1.dll, cygwin's emulation layer over windows. We commonly build cmgui for windows within the cygwin environment so we can use all the unix utilities we know and love. The most popular offerings of the GNU toolchain (compilers, linkers, runtimes) under windows are cygwin and mingw.
