arch-mingw

Docker image for MinGW-w64 build environment based on Arch Linux. The image provides simple cross-compilation environment for windows 32/64bit builds. Amongst other MinGW binaries/libraries image includes GCC, CMake, GNU Autotools, Meson, FFMPEG, Qt5, KF5, Boost.

This script was inspired by mdimura/docker-mingw-qt5

Building docker image manually

You can pull latest docker image with:

sudo docker pull maxrd2/arch-mingw

If you prefer to build it on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/maxrd2/arch-mingw.git && cd arch-mingw
sudo docker build -t maxrd2/arch-mingw -f Dockerfile .

Usage

Start the docker container (replace some-local-path with dir to mount as docker home):

sudo docker run -v some-local-path:/home/devel -it maxrd2/arch-mingw /bin/bash

Compile your application:

git clone 'https://github.com/maxrd2/DivvyDroid.git'
mkdir DivvyDroid/build
sudo docker run -v DivvyDroid:/home/devel --rm -it maxrd2/arch-mingw /bin/bash -c "\
	cd build && \
	i686-w64-mingw32-cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. && \
	make -j\$(nproc) nsis \
	"
ls -l build # windows binaries

cmake, configure, etc commands should be prefixed by i686/x86_64 for 32/64bit builds e.g. i686-w64-mingw32-cmake, x86_64-w64-mingw32-configure

Dependencies

Extra/missing dependencies can be installed from AUR

pacaur -S mingw-w64-rapidjson

If mingw- version of the needed libarary is not available in AUR, you can add it yourself. The process is really straightforward. You would need to write a PKBUILD file, which is as intuitive as it can get, see mingw-w64-rapidjson, for example.
