mingw64 headers

mingw-w64 headers and libs are here

/**

* No warranty is given; refer to the file DISCLAIMER.PD within this package.
*/

def-files for import libraries are in folder mingw-w64-crt\lib32\ or mingw-w64-crt\lib64\
leading undescore is missing in 32-bit  def-files.

Addition to end of _mingw.h

__buildmemorybarrier() is still broken.
32 bit def-files need to modify.

Yes, they're in the public domain... but do they work?

MinGW and GCC use a lib format that I don't believe POLINK knows how to read.  But if the headers are useable, maybe we can do something to transform the libs.  Vortex has quite a few tools for this kind of thing, maybe he can help...

Hi TimoVJL,

Polink will display a lot of error messages if you try use directly the MinGW import libraries. My method is to build module definition files from MinGW libraries and convert the .def files to MS COFF import libraries :

lib2def libkernel32.a
lib2def libuser32.a

type libkernel32.def | minised s/libkernel32/kernel32/ > kernel32.def
type libuser32.def | minised s/libuser32/user32/ > user32.def

\PellesC\Bin\polib.exe /OUT:kernel32a.lib /DEF:kernel32.def /MACHINE:x86
\PellesC\Bin\polib.exe /OUT:user32a.lib /DEF:user32.def /MACHINE:x86

MiniSed for Windows :

MinGW import libraries from :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/files/

Dev-Cpp 5.6.2 MinGW 4.8.1 Portable.7z

The attached zip file contains a simple 32-bit Pelles C project built from the regenerated libraries.
