Use MSYS and MinGW to compile Linux programs for Windows: run CGAL natively on Windows [On Demand 7]
Ғылым және технология
MSYS is truly an impressive tool, allowing you to run Linux on Windows (like WSL which we discussed before) while enabling you to build Linux programs to run natively on Windows. Wait, what? Yes, that’s correct, you can use the familiar Linux build tools like make and gcc to compile a program and make a Windows executable (.exe file), meaning you can run it on Windows independent from the Linux filesystem and libraries. MSYS uses MinGW, minimalist GNU for Window, to do this amazing job. In this video, we compile a CGAL-based program again, this time using MSYS instead of WSL to make it a native Windows executable. We also use CMake GUI for configuring the build, a tool that can be handy if you don’t want to deal with CMake build flags and variables.

Topics covered:
🎯 Fundamental difference between MSYS and WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
🎯 Installing and configuring MSYS and MinGW
🎯 Building a simple C++ program for Windows using Linux compilers
🎯 Building a more complex program (CGAL-based) with more dependencies using MSYS
🎯 Taking advantage of CMake GUI to configure CMake builds

@@elzeroquantumschool1607 thank you for sharing this tip. I have never tried to build a shared library with MSYS, but yes, I can guess that its behavior can be different from what it is in Linux.
my friend it was amazing but it cloud be even better if you compile a simple Linux app such as gedit for mingw to make sense more for those who want to have a quick look for a more straight forward and specific result

it's a good suggestion indeed, but I wanted to reproduce the process of compiling a scientific program we had built before to show the similarities.
Hello Sir Nice and informative video! Are you available for paid consultancy and software development?

Hi, thank you. no, I'm afraid it's not possible at this moment.
hello Sir, would you make video how to install/build wxwidget use msys or mingw?

hi! I have never done that unfortunately. by the way, why do you need to build it using msys when it's already cross-platform? I mean, why not building it using VC++ for example?
