BlitzMAX Update 1.26 (All Platforms)

BlitzMAX 1.26 Release

Mingw is the collection of C/C++ compilers and tools used to build BlitzMax on Windows.

You only need to install Mingw if you plan to rebuild Blitz Research or third party modules. BlitzMax can be used 'as is' to create applications without having to install Mingw.

BlitzMax now uses the latest version of Mingw. The Mingw auto installer is available here:



Select 'current' when asked which package to install.

Select 'MinGW base tools' and 'g++ compiler' when asked which components to install.

Vista users: Once installed, you will need to copy the contents of the MinGWlibexecgccmingw323.4.2 directory into MinGWbin.

Finally, make sure to add C:MinGWbin (or equivalent) to your system PATH environment variable. This can be done on most versions of windows by right-clicking 'my computer' and selecting properties/advanced/environment variables.
