The reason that you have to use the entire target triplet is that that is how the executables are named. The executable for the cross compiler under any host is "x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc". Eventually, if we ever get around to dropping the 32, it will be just "x86_64-pc-mingw-gcc". So presumably you are configuring for the "target triplet" system, which will translate into the canonicalized name of the executable. > > > - windows.h apparently includes wincrypt.h (no idea whether that's > > > specific to that compiler, but it seems so ...), so I needed to > > > #undefine a couple of names messed up by wincrypt.h > > > (patches to rand.h, x509.h and e_os.h). > > OpenSSL developpers seem to rather consider this a mingw_w64 > bug, at least I got one reply on that list indicating that MS samples > normally explicitly include both headers... > > > The cygwin specific options - like "-mno-cygwin" - in the "mingw64" > > line of configure are not necessary.

For mingw, you don't need those options either. You can change it for both. > But no, I didn't find any other gcc based project > targetting Win64 either.

You're handling the first, and very important, step, so don't sell yourself short! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
