如何修复错误：Cygwin gcc不能与--compiler = mingw32一起使用

Question

I'm trying to install this project: https://github.com/drufat/triangle . Unfortunatly, I get the following error:

error: Cygwin gcc cannot be used with --compiler=mingw32

I'm using the lastest version of gcc for Cygwin on Windows 7 64 bit and I'm trying to install that project for python 3.7.1. It's seems to come from my distutil configuration. My distutils.cfg file contains:

[build]
compiler=mingw32

I tried that solution but it doens't helped: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16740123/5075502

Answer 1

The gcc options to build for MinGW64 is no longer supported by the regular cygqin compiler gcc , aka x86_64-pc-cygwin-gcc . Instead, you should also install the mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core package which provides the GCC for Win64 toolchain (C, OpenMP) . This will also install other packages (through dependencies) which provide compatible binutils , headers , libraries , and runtime .

In your Makefile or compiler command line, replace gcc with x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc . This will allow you to compile and link executables which do not depend on the cygwin1.dll .

Answer 2

A similar problem occured. I fixed it by changing mingw32 by gcc like @phd said.
