hi,

could you please try to compress executable using UPX?
now the installer executable has ~7 MB and I think it could be less...

best!

Prompt

"Check internet conection. Details?"

then

"file error"

1. https://github.com/Vuniverse0/mingwInstaller/blob/main/src/icon.cpp#L2168

why not just use sizeof(icon) ?

2. https://github.com/Vuniverse0/mingwInstaller/blob/main/src/icon.hpp#L4

this is very strange decision...
why not return a std::pair from a function?
smth like this:

std::pair<const std::uint8_t *, std::size_t>
getIcon();

3. https://github.com/Vuniverse0/mingwInstaller/blob/main/src/link.cpp#L42

why that function returns double?
why not just use SHFileOperationA ?

4. logo.cpp/hpp, the same questions as for 1 and 2.

best!

Hi,

I used mingwInstaller.exe to install mingw64 in D:/APPS
The path in mingw.bat is set like this set PATH=D:/APPSmingw64/bin/;%PATH%
A / is missing after APPS
Maybe the root cause is because my path was not ending with /.
It would be nice to automatically add a / when it is missing.

Thanks.
Regards.

PS: Windows is now smart enought to accept the Linux separator / but it would be easy to use the native separator \
;-)

hello,

recently the MinGW-Builds projects added the new thread model, called mcf.
previously, the project supported only two threads models: posix and win32.

is it possible to extend the installer to support the new mcf thread model?

this would be very cool for users, and I'm sure many users will be grateful to you!

but keep in mind that there are only two builds with mcf thread model:
https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases/download/13.2.0-rt_v11-rev1/i686-13.2.0-release-mcf-dwarf-ucrt-rt_v11-rev1.7z
https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases/download/13.2.0-rt_v11-rev1/x86_64-13.2.0-release-mcf-seh-ucrt-rt_v11-rev1.7z

many thanks!
