demonkenny released this
2026-02-06 12:58:39 +00:00 | 0 commits to main since this releaseTHIS RELEASE IS ALMOST FULLY THE SAME AS THE LAST RELEASE! This version has an extra dll file to fix partial windows 95 support, as gnu hello did not work without it, so likely ALL working software from this toolchain needs it. i have included this release in 3 archive formats. Original release info from the last release below
this release was a personally altered version of the mingw32 build environment that was originally altered by github user crazii. original repo located at https://github.com/crazii/MINGW-toolchains-w9x
this version has extra programs added to the build env, the tools were build with the addition of -march=pentium to the compiler flags for good measure, the extra tools are untested under win9x, and due to the gettext install not being complete, I had to not use it during builds AND turn off nls on all of my builds, however, gnu hello DID run on an nt4 vm using a pentium processor emulation in 86Box, so the toolchain DOES work for windows NT 4.0 service pack 1, no clue if NT4 RTM works
This release contains files to allow the mingw32 toolchain to work with git bash for 64 bit windows, it uses the msys2 mingw32 launcher to load the 32 bit mingw environment in git bash, the launcher is included, if any problems occur, create an issue post on this repo on the issues tab, I will try to fix the problems as best I can
I also included some of the lzip tools as well as xz utils, so now tar.xz and tar.lz files can be extracted in this build env. I also had to build make for this env, the original env did NOT have gnu make, so I had to use a version of mingw32 targeted make I made on linux in this env to build make within the environment itself. GNU hello is also included in this environment. the GNU hello included in this environment was NOT tested on windows nt 4, the tested version was on another test setup, but the environment does work, however, it may need the host and build target to be set to i386-pc-mingw32, as I had to set that on the older GNU hello version I tested, it predated mingw-w64
