AW: Newbie trying to set up windows gstreamer build environment

[Thornton, Keith]

Hello Dan, I build 64 bit for windows 7 by following the instructions behind 
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/building-from-source-using-cerbero.html

Hi!
I've built recent gstreamer on linux and mac, and now I'd like to do it on windows (64 bit win 10).

Ideally, I'd like to do it with Visual C++'s commandline tools and ninja :-) but I'll do it with whatever's easiest.

Looking at https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/building-from-source-using-cerbero.html
it recommends "Msys/MinGW (Install it with all the options enabled)"
and links to https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
Well, ok, that offers an "Installer", so I downloaded and ran https://astuteinternet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/Installer/mingw-get-setup.exe
and used its 'list' verb... but didn't see any 64 bit tools.  I tried using it to install gcc, but building hello world yielded a 32 bit program. -m64 didn't help.

Looking at https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download I see that the only distribution that seems to come with modern gcc is msys2, so I went to https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download/msys2
(which just linked to http://www.msys2.org/ ) and tried that out.  I was able to install the environment, but not gcc.

Is it me, or is the doc on how to get a cerbero gstreamer build environment on windows a little incomplete?

Thanks,
Dan
