Using different compilers on Windows?

[glowiak]

Good afternoon.

I am trying to build Jaylib (the Java binding for Raylib that used JavaCPP) on Windows XP, and I have encountered a problem.

Namely, JavaCPP is trying to use cl.exe (the Microsoft C++ compiler), which doesn't support C++11.

I have a MinGW setup, and the MinGW g++ is able to compile C++11 code, but I've had no luck with forcing JavaCPP to use it.

Removing Visual Studio build tools from $PATH didn't help.

Is there any switch to make it use the GNU compiler, or do I have to recompile it myself?

Thanks.

MSVC supports C++11. No need to do anything about that

The one from Visual Studio 2008 doesn't.

What is wrong with using GNU tools on Windows XP?

Nothing wrong with it. The presets for FFmpeg need MinGW, so you can use that as reference:

There seems to be a 'windows-x86-mingw' platform, which seems to be what I need.

The problem is how to set it as the default.

Okay, I brute-forced the mingw profile by renaming the config files.

Now I've got other issues to deal with.
