Building Erlang/OTP for 32bit/64bit windows with gcc

Required tools and libraries

• mingw + msys environment installed with mingw-get-inst.
• mingw compiler that has more up-to-date system headers.
  • amd64
  • i686

  • ./config mingw shared zlib-dynamic
• wx widgets library
  • code in contrib/src/stc has to be compiled also
• Building erlang/OTP:

  eval `./otp_build env_msys_mingw32`
  ./otp_build all -a
  

todo

• 64 bit time_t for 32-bit windows?
• proper check for gcc version in sys/win32/sys_float.c
• submit those patches that seem to be trivial
• test compiling with VC after applying the patches
