Please help building with MinGW-w64

[Mihai Dobrescu]

Hello,

I try to get the vkd3d dlls by building vkd3d-proton project. This requires
MinGW-w64 that is not provided by my distro.
I have installed the flatpak runtime by issuing:

$ flatpak search mingw

                             18.08            flathub

$ flatpack install MinGW-w64

... then chosen:

MinGW-w64                  Development environment targeting Windows
               org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.mingw-w64           8.0.0
             20.08            flathub

My question is, as I don't get it from the documentation (I may have not
found the right one), how would I issue the build of vkd3d-protonby using
this runtime? I am not trying to build a flatpak of it, but to get the dlls
to be used in wine (by copy/pasting).

If I had the "regular" MinGW-w64 installation, I would have issued
something like:

$ ./package-release.sh master /your/target/directory --no-package

... in the locally cloned source repo.

That would parse a configuration file, build-win64.txt, containing:

[binaries]
c = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc'
cpp = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++'
ar = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar'
strip = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-strip'
widl = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-widl'

[properties]
c_link_args = ['-static', '-static-libgcc']
cpp_link_args = ['-static', '-static-libgcc', '-static-libstdc++']
needs_exe_wrapper = true

[host_machine]
system = 'windows'
cpu_family = 'x86_64'
cpu = 'x86_64'
endian = 'little'

...so would run in the building process x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc,
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ and so on.

What should I do in order to achieve this?

Thank you,
Mihai Sorin Dobrescu
