How to build the environment of MSYS in the windows?

 

How to build the environment of MSYS for the crossing compiler has demonstrated how to establish the environment of MSY, but there are some faults to compile other applications, such as FFMPEG. Herein, I will re-tidy these contents up to support multi-version compiler at the same time.

StepE02: Download yasm-0.8.0.tar.gz and install it.

 

[Summarization]

 

1. When adding new compiler of GCC, reader copy ming-base into a new folder, such as gcc-4.3.0-mingw, and extract compiler’s components into this new folder. After that, re-map the new local path into the /mingw in the /etc/fstab file, and new compiler can be used in that time.

2. It has not utilized the latest tools in MING, but it is stable and enough to deal with the daily activities.
