Compilation fails under Windows10

[ChristianKurz]

I tried using juliac.jl and get this error:

MinGW was installed using WinRPM, i hardcoded the path to gcc.exe as my system could not find it otherwise.
Any idea what i am doing wrong?

[joaquimg]

I use x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc on windows and it works just fine. Note that it is different from gcc.

[lucatrv]

Please follow these instructions to install the x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc compiler with Cygwin.

[SimonDanisch]

Any idea what the reason is for this and if it's solvable? Would be nice to be able to use the gcc from WinRPM, to get automatic installation of gcc on windows working.

[SimonDanisch]

Ah fixed it I think! I will fix this in JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl#18

[ViralBShah]

Awesome to see efforts unite with PackageCompiler.jl and this project. We should find a more general home. Perhaps in JuliaLang.

[lucatrv]

I was just working on adding WinRPM support to static-julia, maybe I should stop and go ahead after it is merged into PackageCompiler.jl?
@ViralBShah there is still PR #60 to merge (which allows to specify builddir without cprog), should I close it and open a new one on PackageCompiler.jl?

[ViralBShah]

@SimonDanisch Any preferences? I suspect it is better to work on PackageCompiler.jl going forward.

[SimonDanisch]

sounds good to me!

[lucatrv]

I closed PR #60, I am going to open next PRs on PackageCompiler.jl.
