how do I install mingw64 on kali linux 2.0?












0














I have downloaded several packages from these web sites:



https://packages.debian.org/stable/wine-development



http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/?source=typ_redirect



Apparently, I have to have Wine installed on Kali Linux too. However, I can't even get that done properly.



root@blackJesus:~/Downloads# apt-get install mingw-w64

I tried unpacking and unzipping several packages and it still won't help. This is the only one that unpacked correctly, and I don't see what it does for me. Maybe I'm wrong and need to try something else, but what do I do from here if this is the solution:

Just to clarify. Wine is a tool that allows you to install and run (many, not all) programs that were designed and compiled for windows. Wine will emulate an Windows environment and allow to run these programs.



What you have to do is install Wine. Search for it with apt-get and install. When this is done. Go to the MinGW page download and install the installation executable through Wine (normally just by double clicking the exe).



If the installation was successfull the compiler you want to use to compile programs for Windows should be located at /root/.wine/drive_c/MinGW/bin.

Just to clarify. Wine is a tool that allows you to install and run (many, not all) programs that were designed and compiled for windows. Wine will emulate an Windows environment and allow to run these programs.



What you have to do is install Wine. Search for it with apt-get and install. When this is done. Go to the MinGW page download and install the installation executable through Wine (normally just by double clicking the exe).



If the installation was successfull the compiler you want to use to compile programs for Windows should be located at /root/.wine/drive_c/MinGW/bin.
