Problems building dmlc on Windows

I am learning about simics, now I am trying to build dmlc on a test project and following the guide on github, on the step "Building DMLC from a Simics project" using the command bin\make dmlc throws an error that bin could not be loaded.

enter image description here

Have been some days on research to find that and just found that I had to install "MinGW", but its not working, so now its time to ask for help, being new with this technologies make me think I am not going in the correct way.

Solution

  • If there is no bin directory in your project at all, something is really broken. But I guess all that is missing is the make trampoline.

    To build with gcc and Make on Windows, you do need to install either MinGW or better, winlibs. That will give you make and gcc and other tools in one single package.

    If you put the mingw64 directory from inside winlibs zip file as C:\mingw64, the Make-based build system should find it automatically. Rerun project-setup, or create a new project. To see if it finds the toolchain and creates the trampoline, run with -V. If not, use the --mingw-dir option to the tool to point out the location of the MinGW toolchain.
