How to compile FlightGear with mingw
====================================


MinGW & MSYS
============

You need to install mingw & msys: 

http://www.mingw.org

You need at least:

MinGW: binutils, gcc-core, gcc-g++, mingw-runtime, mingw-utils, w32api
I would recommed the gcc-3.4.4 versions.
MSYS: msys-1.0.10.exe, msys-autoconf, msys-automake, msys-libtool, msys-DTK.

Please read instructions carefully.

Set the follwing environment variables within msys shell.

export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -O2"
export CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -O2"
export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib

Pthread-win32
=============

http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/

compile:
make  GCE-inlined

Install:
cp pthread.h sched.h semaphore.h /usr/local/include
cp linpthreadGCE2.a  /usr/local/lib/libpthread.a
cp pthread-GCE.dll /usr/local/bin
