MinGW/MSYS and Libraries

Since I am moving from Microsoft Visual C++ to MinGW/MSYS, I would like to record down what are the libraries installed in my MSYS.

The following libraries are successfully compiled and installed in MSYS with MinGW:

  • GLEW
  • OpenSceneGraph
    • Cal3D (using g++-3.4.5)
    • osgCal2
  • SDL
  • FreeGLUT
  • DevIL
  • libpng
    • zlib
  • libjpeg
  • libtiff
  • libxml2
  • FFmpeg
  • Theora
    • libogg
    • libvorbis
  • FreeType
  • FreeImage
  • Boost
  • COLLADA DOM (using g++-3.4.5)
    • minizip
  • CppUnit (using g++-3.4.5)
  • Expat
  • cURL
  • PCRE (using g++-3.4.5)
  • CEGUI
  • POCO C++ Libraries
  • OpenCV (using tdm-gcc)

The following libraries are pre-compiled and used by MSYS with MinGW:

  • Cg Toolkit
  • OIS (Object-Oriented Input System), pre-compiled in OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Engine)
  • OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Engine)
  • CEGUI

The following libraries are pre-compiled (because I failed to compile them) and used by MSYS with MinGW:

  • GTK+ (including Expat, Cairo, Iconv, FontConfig, Pango, etc), compiler independent because of C language
  • GStreamer (WinBuilds), compiler independent because of C language
  • Audiere, compiler independent because of using abstract class

The followings are the libraries I failed to compile and install:

  • ZZIPlib
  • OpenSSL
  • TBB (Threading Building Blocks)
  • SpiderMonkey
  • OpenVRML
  • FreeWRL
