Humm, some how I felt that there was something very wrong in my installation.
All I want from the compiler is to debug using 32-bit, and then create a final
built in 64-bit. I not interested in cross compiling, it is just that I want to
deploy under 64-bit Windows 7/8.
Please, could you tell me which MinGW-64 flavour I should download in order to
this?
TIA

I hope someone is willing to reply to my question, even though they sound not
very smart, the truth is that I am trying to understand the different aspects
of MinGW64, I am really confused about how it works.
Thanks in advance

D:\MinGW64
+bin
-i686-w64-mingw32-g++.exe
+i686-w64-mingw32
+bin
-g++.exe
----
What is the difference between './bin/i686-w64-mingw32-g++.exe' and
'./i686-w64-mingw32/bin/g++.exe'? What are they used for?
My toolchains do not have the second variation (last time I checked, I could
very well be wrong though). What file did you download?
It seems you downloaded a toolchain built as a cross-compiler. The prefix
i686... means it targets 32-bit Windows. A prefix of x86_64... means it targets
64-bit. If you don't want prefixed executables, download a native compiler. For
my toolchains, this means using files with names of the form i686...win32 and
x86_64....win64.
If you know how GCC works on Unix, all you should know to use MinGW-w64
toolchains is that you need to add the toplevel "bin" directory to PATH and
call the compiler executables as you would on Unix.

In the‘/MinGW64’ folder I have ‘./lib’, ‘/bin’ and ‘./include’
subdirectories, am I to assume that this are the 32-bit files while their
64-bit counterparts are in the ‘./i686-w64-mingw32’ directory?
No. Depending on what exactly you downloaded (filename of the file you got
suffices), some stuff will be located in different places.
I'm assuming you have downloaded a 32-bit native non-multilib toolchain, then
this is the general structure:
mingw32/bin: directory to add to PATH. Contains all the toolchain executables
like gcc, g++, gdb, ld, nm, etc...
mingw32/lib and mingw32/include: GCC search paths, ignore them.
mingw32/i686-w64-mingw32/include and lib: these are the MinGW-w64 headers and
import libraries (the stuff built from the source you first downloaded). These
include some C headers and standard Win32 API headers like windows.h

Hello there!
I just downloaded and unpacked mingw-w64-v1.0.7. in my D: directory, what
else do I have to do now? is there a tutorial explaining what has to be added
to the path and what is the toolchain for 32bit or 64bit apps?
Hi,
you downloaded the MinGW-w64 runtime source package. You want a prebuilt
binary package i seems. See here for instructions:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/GeneralUsageInstructions
If you need any more help, feel free to ask.
Ruben
TIA
