How to install cygwin on an Arm64 Windows 10 machine? - windows

I have an HP Envy Arm64 notebook with a Qualcomm GPU, running Windows 10. I would like to install Cygwin and GCC on it, but I can't find a download that works. Is that at all possible ? Thanks,
Alberto.
I tried https://cygwin.com/install.html but none of the downloads work.

I Need to install sdl 1.2.15 in mingw (Windows 64bit)

Is there a way to install the old sdl 1.2.15 in mingw on Windows 10 for 64 bit. Everything I find is either only for 32 bit or for 64 bit but only for linux. I also need to install sdl gfx and sdl ttf.
SDL 1.2.15 builds fine under MSYS2 using ./configure and make.
Or you can just get the MSYS2 package (see https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL) using pacman.

Running compiled code for linux on windows

So I cross-compiled Go code on Windows(10) for Linux and I was actually able to run the same executable on both Windows and Linux how is that possible?
That'd be the new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) that can run Linux ELF binaries natively on Windows 10.

Cross Debug Win32 Mingw32 C/C++ program on Linux and Wine using GDB

I installed mingw-w64 and gdb-mingw-w64 on Ubuntu 14.10 using:
sudo apt-get install mingw-w64
sudo apt-get install gdb-mingw-w64
I'm able to compile C/C++ programs and run them from Wine or on Windows machine.
I installed mingw32 version of gdb to be able to debug windows app compiled with Mingw.
I tried to use recent versions of Netbeans 8, Code::Blocks 13.12, Eclipse Luna and was able to configure Mingw toolchain to be used with IDE for building win32 application from Linux.
I also tried to configure the same way in those IDEs to use Mingw version of GDB (gdb-mingw-w64) the same way as standrad GDB was sued for non-mingw GCC toolchain but was never able to make it work :(
How can I debug such C/C++ program compiled with Mingw from Linux?
How to configure in any of IDEs listed above?
Thank you!

Install ImageMagick on MinGW

When I install IM on MinGW I got this error
c:\Users\MumMum\Desktop\MagickCore\ImageMagick-6.7.7-0/magick/nt-base.c:1021: un
defined reference to `IsWow64Process'
How i solve this problem?
You do not specify your OS version. IsWow64Process ("Is this a Windows on Windows 64 bit process?") is only implemented in XP and later desktop OSes, and Windows 2008 and Windows 2003 SP1. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684139%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
In a pinch, try installing the Portable version of ImageMagick: Link

How to compile a Windows binary in Ubuntu?

I have a Qt application that I can compile in Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and on Windows. However, I would like to avoid switching to Windows every time I want to compile the Windows version.
Is there a way I can compile a Windows Qt executable in Ubuntu with mingw32 or something?
Further, is there a way to integrate that compiler into Qt Creator?
There is a PPA (Personal Package Archive) for some people who are cross-compiling Qt and related software on Ubuntu for Windows. The PPA contains both the cross-compilers and the dependencies you will need to cross-compile Qt programs. If you look at the source packages there, I think you will be able to figure out how to configure your projects and build them.
If you most of your time spend coding with Qt on Linux (for example, Ubuntu), you may produce some experiment: install Wine, install Qt SDK for Windows with Wine and tried to build some simple project!
And if you don't like crazy things, which I wrote above, just use VirtualBox.
