It is therefore -recommended that you copy the following files from your MinGW \c{bin\\} -subdirectory to \c{C:\\build2\\bin\\} (\c{*} in the last name will normally be -\c{dw2-1}, \c{seh-1}, or \c{sjlj-1}): - -\ -libwinpthread-1.dll -libstdc++-6.dll -libgcc_s_*.dll -\ - -To build with MinGW you can either perform the following steps manually or, if -after reviewing the steps, you are happy with using the defaults, run the -\c{build-mingw.bat} batch file. It performs (and echoes) the same set of steps -as outlined below but only allows you to customize the compiler, installation -directory, and a few other things (run \c{build-mingw.bat /?} for usage). - -For example, if your MinGW distribution is in \c{C:\\mingw\\}, then you could -run it (from the command prompt that we have started earlier) like this: - -\ -> .\build-mingw.bat C:\mingw\bin\g++ -\ - -If you are using the \c{build2-mingw} package then you should be able to -use just \c{g++} for the compiler: - -\ -> .\build-mingw.bat g++ -\ - -If you would like to speed the process up by compiling in parallel, then you -can instruct \c{build-mingw.bat} to bootstrap using GNU make (comes in -the \c{build2-mingw} package), for example: - -\ -> .\build-mingw.bat --make mingw32-make --make -j8 g++ -\ - -\N|Note that at about half way through (\c{bpkg fetch} at step 4 below) the -script will stop and prompt you to verify the authenticity of the repository -certificate. To run the script unattended you can specify the certificate -fingerprint with the \c{--trust} option (see \c{build-mingw.bat /?} for -details).| - -The end result of the bootstrap process (performed either with the script or -manually) is the installed toolchain as well as the \c{bpkg} configuration in -\c{build2-toolchain-X.Y\\} that can be used to \l{#upgrade upgrade} to newer -versions.

Bootstrap, Phase 1}\n - -First, we build a minimal build system with the provided -\c{bootstrap-mingw.bat} batch file. Normally, the only argument you will pass -to this script is the C++ compiler to use but there is also a way to specify -compile options; run \c{bootstrap-mingw.bat /?} and see the -\c{build2\\INSTALL} file for details. - -\ -> cd build2 -> .\bootstrap-mingw.bat g++ -static - -> build2\b-boot --version -\ - -Alternatively, we can use the \c{bootstrap.gmake} GNU makefile to bootstrap -in parallel: - -\ -> cd build2 -> mingw32-make -f bootstrap.gmake -j 8 CXX=g++ LDFLAGS=-static - -> build2\b-boot --version -\ - -| - -\li|\n\b{2.

This subdirectory is temporary and will be removed -in a few steps. - -Verify that the toolchain binaries can be found and work (this relies on the -\c{PATH} environment variable we have set earlier): - -\ -> where b-stage -C:\build2\bin\b-stage.exe - -> where bpkg-stage -C:\build2\bin\bpkg-stage.exe - -> b-stage --version -> bpkg-stage --version -\ - -At the next step we will use \c{bpkg} to build and install the entire -toolchain. If for some reason you prefer not to build from packages (for -example, because the machine is offline), then you can convert this step into -the \"final\" installation and skip the rest. For this you will need to change -the \c{configure} and \c{install} command lines above along these lines: - -\ -> build2\build2\b-boot configure ^ - config.cxx=g++ ^ - config.cc.coptions=-O3 ^ - config.install.root=C:\build2 - -> build2\build2\b-boot install: build2/ bpkg/ bdep/ -\ - -| - -\li|\n\b{4.
