README file for configuring Code::Blocks to use the 64-bit MinGW
toolchain

Copyright (c) 2009 ARM Research Laboratories

This is the README file for the configuring Code::Blocks to use the
64-bit MinGW toolchain.

To configure Code::Blocks:

  1) Unpack the 64-bit toolchain archive (e.g.
  mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20090220.zip) into c:\MinGW-64.  If done
  correctly, c:\MinGW-64 should have the directories bin, include,
  x86_64-pc-mingw32, and other directories.

  2) Start CodeBlocks.

  3) Open the Global compiler settings (Settings->Compiler and
  debugger).

  4) Click on "Copy", and enter MinGW-64 as the new compiler's name.

  5) If desired, click "Set as default".

  6) Click on the "Toolchain executables" tab.

  7) For the compiler's installation directory, enter "c:\MinGW-64".

  8) Click on the "Program Files" tab, and enter the names for the
  MinGW-64 tools:

    i) C compiler:  "x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc.exe".

    ii) C++ compiler:  "x86_64-pc-mingw32-g++.exe".

    iii) Linker for dynamic libs:  "x86_64-pc-mingw32-g++.exe".

    iv) Linker for static libs:  "x86_64-pc-mingw32-ar.exe".

    v) Debugger: Leave this blank; there is no 64-bit debugger
    available yet.

    vi) Resource ompiler:  "x86_64-pc-mingw32-windres.exe".

    v) Make program: "".  Leave blank.  The 64-bit toolchain doesn't
    include a make program.
