From 94ad6b4a2223c8b67cd98a81277cb3af822e3d39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: StillHammer Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 03:42:41 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Add MinGW support - Build without Visual Studio! MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Lightweight Windows build option using MinGW-w64 instead of Visual Studio: Size Comparison: - Visual Studio: 10-20 GB install - MinGW: ~500 MB install (20x smaller!) New Files: - setup_mingw.bat: One-click installer for all tools - Chocolatey (package manager) - MinGW-w64 (GCC compiler) - CMake, Ninja, Git - vcpkg integration - build_mingw.bat: Build script for MinGW - Auto-detection of GCC - Debug/Release modes - Clean build support - User-friendly error messages - WINDOWS_MINGW.md: Complete MinGW guide - Installation instructions - Troubleshooting - Performance comparison MSVC vs GCC - Distribution guide CMake Updates: - Added mingw-debug and mingw-release presets - GCC compiler flags: -O3 -Wall -Wextra - Static linking for portable .exe Documentation: - Updated WINDOWS_QUICK_START.md with MinGW option - Comparison table: MinGW vs Visual Studio - Recommendation: MinGW for most users Benefits: - 20x smaller download (500MB vs 10-20GB) - 5-10 min install vs 30-60 min - Same performance as MSVC - Portable standalone .exe - Perfect for users without Visual Studio Usage: 1. Run setup_mingw.bat (one time) 2. Restart terminal 3. Run build_mingw.bat --release 4. Done!
