Hi,
the -w64- within cross-compiler's triplet means that this compiler
uses mingw-w64 runtime headers and libraries. The architecture part of
triplet (i686|x86_64) makes the difference, if a cross-compiler
produces binaries for i686 (means 32-bit), or for x86_64 (means
64-bit) windows native.
Btw the -m32 is superflous for the i686-w64-mingw32 cross-compiler, as
it just produces 32-bit and has no 64-bit capabilities builtin.
Could you show please your x.c file, as the message you get is a
compiler error already. I would assume that you missed to include some
header, or you were defining something which cause here the harm.
Regards,
Kai
