<br />
== Compiling on Windows ==<br />
Please see the [https://github.com/minetest/minetest#compiling-on-windows-using-msvc Minetest README].<br />
<br />
== Cross-compilation ==<br />
To compile a win32 version of Minetest in Linux with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW MinGW] you can use the build script in <code>[https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/util/buildbot/buildwin32.sh utils/buildbot/buildwin32.sh]</code>.<br />
<br />
To compile a win64 version of Minetest in Linux with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW MinGW] you can use the build script in <code>[https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/util/buildbot/buildwin32.sh utils/buildbot/buildwin64.sh]</code>.<br />
<br />
If you have errors during cross compilation related to std::thread and std::mutex, this is due to mingw-w64 being incorrectly configured for cross compilation. <br />
<br />
To fix the errors, use the command:<br />
<br />
For 64-bit builds: <code> sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ </code> <br />
<br />
For 32-bit Ubuntu Builds: <code> sudo update-alternatives --config i686-w64-mingw32-g++ </code><br />
<br />
For 32-bit Debian Builds: <code> sudo update-alternatives --config i586-w64-mingw32-g++ </code><br />
<br />
When provided with a prompt for which version to select, please choose "posix". Then retry the buildwin32.sh or buildwin64.sh<br />
