MINGW64 Setup (Windows x64)

Create a fork of or clone of the recoil engine https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring.git

Recursively clone the submodules: git submodule update --init --recursive

If you clone your fork, download the tags: git remote add upstream https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring.git

git fetch --all --tags

Clone mingwlibs64 into the engine directory : https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/mingwlibs64

Launch cmake with cmake-gui .

Set source code to the cloned spring repository.

Pick the build dir separate from the main spring dir (for example spring/build)

In the CMAKELIST file in spring change (AI_TYPES = ALL) to (AI_TYPES = NATIVE). [copied from MSVC tutorial,perhaps not necessary]

Choose MinGW Makefiles as the generator and then Generate

Use mingw32-make to build the project : mingw32-make.exe -j {substitute computer logical cores - 1} engine-legacy engine-headless engine-dedicated

Copy all the dlls from mingwlibs64/dll into the build directory

You should be able to open spring.exe

In the build directory add games/ and maps/ folder. The games and maps you place respectively will appear within the spring engine
