Set up MinGW-w64
This is a GitHub action that sets up MinGW-w64 in your workflow run.
- Installs MinGW-w64 on either Ubuntu or Windows.
- Fixes the infamous libwinpthread-1.dll static linking issue.
Use it in your workflow like this:
- name: Set up MinGW
uses: egor-tensin/setup-mingw@v1
with:
platform: x64
x64 is the default value for the platform parameter and can be omitted.
Use x86 if you want to build 32-bit binaries.
Set the cygwin parameter to 1 to set up MinGW inside an existing Cygwin
installation (installing Cygwin itself is as simple as choco install cygwin).
