Set up MinGW-w64
================

![Test](https://github.com/egor-tensin/setup-mingw/workflows/Test/badge.svg)

This is a GitHub action that sets up MinGW-w64 in your workflow run.

1. Installs MinGW-w64 on either Ubuntu or Windows.
2. Fixes the infamous libwinpthread-1.dll [static linking issue].

[static linking issue]: https://stackoverflow.com/q/13768515/514684

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`).
