[mingw]_[primary]_[64 bit windres how to compile a 32-bit link file]

Scene:

1. MinGW (TDM) 64-bit gcc,4.8.1,64 bits are very friendly to compiling 64-bit programs, but additional work is required for compiling 32-bit programs.

2. For example, with Windres compile manifest,64 bit environment default is not, with configure or makefile even if added-m32 will not automatically set the Windres to compile 32-bit.

Here you need to add some parameters to configure or make.

./configure rcflags= "--output-format=coff--target=pe-i386" .....

Make rcflags= "--output-format=coff--target=pe-i386" ...

To see all possble windres parameters, you can request help:    x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres.exe--helpfor Windows-A-bit F Ormat need COFF format with pe-i386 target. Basically add-f pe-i386 (or--target=pe-i386) after-o COFF flag to your command line if you generate it man Ually. In GNU Autotools It's about the rcflags. So if there ' s some configure script, just add    ./configure rcflags= "--output-format=coff--target=pe-i386" .....

Note: By the way, 4.8.1 's 64-bit GDB 32-bit program compiled by debug crashes.
