Cannot compile simple hello.c for win32, please help. Compiling for windows 64-bit works just fine.
Wrong options? Is -m32 supposed to be enough? I tried some march too. Should I try using ldconfig or change sysroot for ld? Specifying -T i386pe.x for ld did not work either. I think I have all packages installed. Just why ld won't find the script? Or there is something else i'm missing?
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc hello.c -m32
/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot open linker script file ldscripts/i386pe.x: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
