Note that there are separate ZIP files for 32-bit (i686) and 64-bit (x86_64)
binaries. They are both fully supported, but you should prefer the 64-bit
designed for UNIX-like systems and is easiest to use on Linux, it's possible to
build Windows binaries on Windows using Cygwin with MinGW. To do this, follow
the instructions below. For the sake of example, I'll assume you are building a
-32-bit version of wimlib v1.9.0.
+64-bit version of wimlib v1.10.0.
Run the Cygwin installer, available from https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe.
When you get to the package selection screen, choose the following additional
packages from category "Devel":
- make
- - mingw64-i686-gcc-g++
- - mingw64-i686-binutils
- - mingw64-i686-libxml2
- - mingw64-i686-winpthreads
- - mingw64-i686-win-iconv
- - mingw64-i686-pkg-config
+ - mingw64-x86_64-binutils
+ - mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++
+ - mingw64-x86_64-libxml2
+ - mingw64-x86_64-pkg-config
+ - mingw64-x86_64-winpthreads
-Download wimlib's source code from https://wimlib.net/downloads/wimlib-1.9.0.tar.gz.
+Download wimlib's source code from https://wimlib.net/downloads/wimlib-1.10.0.tar.gz.
Start a Cygwin terminal and run the following commands:
cd /cygdrive/c/Users/example/Downloads # (or wherever you downloaded the source to)
- tar xf wimlib-1.9.0.tar.gz
- cd wimlib-1.9.0
- ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32
+ tar xf wimlib-1.10.0.tar.gz
+ cd wimlib-1.10.0
+ ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
make
If successful, the new binaries "libwim-15.dll" and "wimlib-imagex.exe" will
have been produced in the .libs directory.
By default the binaries are built with debug symbols. If desired, you can use
-i686-w64-mingw32-strip to strip them.
+x86_64-w64-mingw32-strip to strip them.
libwim-15.dll will be linked to several other DLLs which you will need as well:
- - iconv.dll
- libwinpthread-1.dll
- - libxml2-2.dll
- - libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll
-
-They can be found in "C:\cygwin\usr\i686-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\bin" and
-must be placed alongside libwim-15.dll for it to run portably. (In the official
-binary release, these third-party libraries are linked to libwim-15.dll
-statically rather than dynamically.)
-
-Building 64-bit binaries is very similar, but you'll need to replace "i686" with
-"x86_64" everywhere in the above instructions. Note that you can build both
-32-bit and 64-bit binaries from the same Cygwin installation, provided that you
-install both the mingw64-i686-* and mingw64-x86_64-* packages; and you can run
-the Cygwin setup program to install more packages at any time.
+ - libxml2-2.dll, which also requires:
+ - iconv.dll
+ - liblzma-5.dll
+ - zlib1.dll
+
+These DLLs can be found in "C:\cygwin\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\bin"
+and must be placed alongside libwim-15.dll for it to run portably. (In the
+official binary release, these third-party libraries are linked to libwim-15.dll
+statically rather than dynamically --- or are unnecessary, in the case of
+libxml2's dependencies.)
