Compiling - quick question

BlitzMax Forums/Brucey's Modules/Compiling - quick question

degac (Posted April) [#1]

Hi after so much time I decided to try to some brucey modules but - with the 'standard' MinGW installation, I got error (cpu you selected does not support...) So I tried to install quite every possible MinGW version, but nothing, same result: I would like to test the TESSERACT module... So the questions are: 1. with Vanilla BlitzMax 1.50 what is the 'right' MinGW setup to use? 2. with Brucey modules, what are the ones that require some specific MinGW version? (ie: Cairo works without problems) ps: I just checked, BlitzMax seems to use (now) GCC/G++ 6.3.0 FASM 1.71.60 Thanks

Hello Christian, I couldn't get BMX NG to work with my PRP project. So I'm still sticking to the latest vanilla stuff. You might want to upgrade to FASM 1.71.61: http://flatassembler.net/fasmw17161.zip More importantly upgrade to GCC 7.1: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/7.1.0/threads-posix/dwarf/i686-7.1.0-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v5-rev0.7z My main exe-file gained another 25 kb from the upgrade (GCC 6.3 -> 7.1.). I wish there was a way to set the compiler parameters for a better compression to counter this. Stefan

Ok, thanks, I will try the GCC you posted. Same for FASM.

How did it go for you? Btw FASM released .62 in the meantime.
