The release for Windows is provided in a ZIP archive with a file name of Jamaica-<version>-mingw-<target>.zip. The archive must be unpacked using some ZIP command for installation. The archive should be extracted to the destination directory C:/Programs/jamaica.
If you wish to compile programs with Jamaica for a Windows target you must also install the MinGW-binaries. It may also be useful for you to install the MSYS-package which provides some additional Unix tools. Please download the following packages:
While newer versions will probably work, aicas has verified that these versions do. Please install the MinGW package to C:/Programs/MinGW and the MSYS package to C:/Programs/MSYS. If you select other installation directories, you will have to modify the path entries in C:/Programs/jamaica/etc/jamaica.conf.
| Caution |
Because the filesystem under Windows does not support soft-links you must add the path C:/Programs/jamaica/bin to the PATH variable in order to be able to run Jamaica binaries. |
For target specific installation hints please check Appendix A.
