What is this?

A preconfigured MinGW setup for compiling openFrameworks applications and 3rd party libraries (via openFrameworks' Apothecary scripts).

It is also used as the toolchain for ofSketch on Windows.

How was it made?

This folder is created by following the instructions here:

https://hackpad.com/MinGW-MSYS-openFrameworks-Setup-GuhEod9okeN

Then:

• Copy the MinGW folder from codeblocks 12.11 into this directory.
• Copy the msys folder from C:\MinGW into this directory.
• Then download the git-bash tools and take the curl.exe and curl-ca-bundle in the MinGW bin dir.

How do I use it?

Double click ofMinGW.bat.

This will give you a command prompt with the paths set correctly to compile using GCC / MinGW.

It doesn't seem to work.

It has been tested extensively on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 with openFrameworks 0.8.4. For all other platforms, please submit an issue in the repository.
