Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/7] MinGW-w64 support
Date: Thu,  6 Feb 2020 09:44:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200206064426.45697-1-dmitry.kozliuk@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch series add support for building DPDK using MinGW-w64.

MinGW-w64 provides GNU toolchain and independent platform SDK on
Windows. It also supports cross-compilation to Windows from POSIX
systems by providing cross tollchains and libraries [0]. It does NOT
emulate a full POSIX environment, like Cygwin or MSYS do.

There are advantages in using MinGW-w64 in addition to Clang:

1. Cross-compilation out-of-the-box. MinGW-w64 is provides a pthread
   implementation, GNU getopt, and Windows platform SDK.

2. Easier porting of POSIX applications using DPDK to Windows, because
   application code can use the same benefits as mentioned above.

3. Having both primary compilers enabled on Windows provides more
   diagnostics and generally prevents non-portable code.
