Hello, The main issue when compiling Wt with MinGW was MinGW.org's lack of std::wstring. But that's not a problem if you are using mingw-w64.
In order to get all the dependencies building, you will need to search cmake/CMakeLists.txt for if(MSVC) blocks and then change the MSVC-specific build steps to MinGW build steps. You will need to do this to build Skia, OpenSSL, PostgreSQL and Boost. OpenSSL and Boost are easy to get building, just look for the "build OpenSSL with MinGW" and "build Boost with MinGW" instructions upstream and add an if(MINGW) block. PostgreSQL may be more difficult, as Makefile generation seems to require MSYS. Skia is doable but may need this patch: https://github.com/bnoordhuis/mozilla-central/blob/master/gfx/skia/mingw-fix.patch On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 3:02 PM, K.
