This version is outdated, the newest release of this script can be found at: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/blog/?cat=4

This is a new release of my MingGW-w64 Build Script

Some key features of this script are:

• Builds both Win32 and Win64 toolchains.
• Checks for missing packages before the compile begins.
• Builds are “full featured” toolchain (ppl and cloog).
• Can choose between a Win32 or Win64 build, or choose to compile both.
• Automatically detects a previous built toolchain and updates the toolchain instead of a full rebuild.
• pthreads is automatically built and installed.
• Builds a toolchain that can compile FFmpeg for Win32 and Win64, along with the external libraries.
• Automatically stops the script if any package fails to build.
• Support for make “jobs” which will use multiple CPU cores/threads.
• Allow user to choose which version of GCC, Binutils, and MinGW-w64 to build.
• Allow for a fully static build.
• Clean the build after the build finishes.
• Allow the user to select which languages to build into GCC.
• Allow the user to build without NLS support
• Support for command line arguments, see –help for more information

Some changes/fixes from version 3.0.5 are:

• Fixed MinGW-w64 version compiling.
• Add support for compiling MinGW-w64 version 2.0.4
• Fixed –cpu-count to warn if more cores are selected than detected

Please download and try it, even if you don’t want to use the resulting toolchain I could use some feedback and bug reports.

I made sure that it’s simple yet effective, you wont be prompted for most things (though if you would like more prompts then feel free to ask/recommend).

This script has been tested on Ubuntu 64-bit, Ubuntu 32-bit, Debian 64-bit, and it should work on any Linux that supports bash.
