   9 MinGW setup
  10
  11         (A) Download the MinGW installer from the MinGW site:
  12                 http://www.mingw.org/
  13
  14         (B) Follow the install steps found on the MinGW getting started page:
  15                 http://www.mingw.org/wiki/getting_started
  16                 Select the mingw-gcc-v3 packages because Titan only compiles
  17                 with older gcc. If you select the gcc4 packages, then the make process
  18                 stops immediately with some error messages. Select the msys packages too.
  19
  20         (C) Check the PATH system variable:
  21                 System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> Path
  22                 The MinGW installation path must be present to use the installed
  23                 executables and files. For example:
  24                         echo %PATH%
  25                         C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\usr\bin...
  26
  27         (D) Working environment:
  28                 Use the <Install folder>\msys\<version>\msys.bat file to start a shell.
  29                 Download and extract the Titan source files and folders to a directory,
  30                 and create a Makefile.personal in the top directory. Please check the
  31                 installation guide and set all the needed variables like TTCN3_DIR. The
  32                 MinGW compilation needs a few extra changes in the Makefile.cfg also. Set
  33                 the PLATFORM and MINGW values:
  34                         PLATFORM := WIN32
  35                         MINGW := -DMINGW -mno-cygwin
  36
  37         (E) Compile Titan:
  38                 cd titan
  39                 make -j
  40                 make install
  41                 The compiled files will be placed into the ./Install directory.
  42
  43         (F) If the build process stops with a Windows error message saying that some files
  44                 are missing, search for the indicated Cygwin package and download it from the Cygwin page.
  45                 You can search fast and easily with the Cygwin Package Search tool:
  46                 https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi
  47                 Extract the downloaded package into the MinGW installation directory, and
  48                 restart the build process.
