Title: compiling a 32bit program using 64bit mingw
Post by: beno on May 03, 2020, 09:05:42 am

Hello Peeps,

I am new to this platform, 20.3. I am trying to compile a 32bit program. However, i hit a snag even though i have selected -m32 option. Following is the screen shot of the error. Can any1 enlighten me?

Please note that i can compile the program in 64bit format.

Rgrds,
Beno

Most 64 bit MinGW GCC compilers are missing parts of the needed 32 bit folders and files.
Without those it is hard to build any 32 bit apps that need 32 bit libraries in the linking step.

Title: Re: compiling a 32bit program using 64bit mingw
Post by: stahta01 on May 06, 2020, 05:37:16 am

And, as stated elsewhere most 64 bit MinGW GCC can not link 32 bit applications because they normally are missing the 32 bit libraries!

AFAIK the Mingw-w64 toolchains are not multilib, you need a complete toolchain for each architecture. I assume the package contains only one toolchain, the one CodeBlocks was build itself with, so this would be the 64 bit toolchain which cannot build 32 bit. You need to install the 32 bit toolchain yourself and point CodeBlocks to use that one to build for 32 bit.
