Hi, When trying to build Win64 i get this error make[2]: i586-mingw32msvcgcc: Command not found Is there a problem with command line parsing in the binaries i use. eubin-2011-10-28-bdfc91ed15da.zip eubin-2011-06-29-3739d931e005.tar.gz ./configure --build ../mw --eubin ~/euphoria/bin64 --plat WINDOWS --cc-prefix i586-mingw32msvc Thanks for any hint.

So, do you actually have a cross compiler called i586-mingw32msvcgcc? I'm guessing you have one called 'i586-mingw32msvc-gcc' (note the extra dash) and you will have to specify the prefix with the dash in order for Makefile to find it.

As Shawn mentioned, you actually have to specify the dash at the end of the prefix. That's probably the wrong way to do it, but when I set it up that way, it seemed more generic.
With that compiler, you're going to be compiling to a 32-bit target. The 64-bit cross compiler probably uses something more like x86_64-w64-mingw32 as its prefix.
A 64-bit version of euphoria needs a 4.1 interpreter as its "eubin" in order to translate properly. The 32-bit version of 4.1 will work, but if you use a 4.0 interpreter, it will appear to build, but it will crash. You should be able to build a 4.1 32-bit binary using a 4.0.3 interpreter. Also, you'll want to use a native binary as your eubin (so, Linux, in this case).

Sorry your advice did not change anything. My eubin/eui Euphoria Interpreter v4.1.0 development 64-bit Linux, Using System Memory Revision Date: 2011-06-30 16:06:49, Id: 5038:3739d931e005 And ./configure --build ../mw --eubin ~/euphoria/bin64 --plat WINDOWS --cc-prefix amd64-mingw32msvc- The error: amd64-mingw32msvc-gcc: Command not found

The error:
amd64-mingw32msvc-gcc: Command not found
That sounds like you do not have the 64-bit cross compiler installed. You should have that installed into /usr/bin, and you will probably have similar directories off of /usr which hold all of the includes and libraries. For example, on my machine, I have:
$ which x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc $ ls /usr/*mingw* /usr/i686-w64-mingw32: include lib /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32: bin include lib share
Additionally, I posted a Win64 eubin that I just cross compiled.

OK, Thank you for your help, i do not know much about linux. I have done some cross compiling in the past 32bit with success.
Do i have to build the 64 bit cross compiler myself?
I do not want to venture that.

I suppose you could build it yourself. Ideally, your distro has it in your package management system. On Ubuntu, it's called mingw-w64. This actually installs both the 64 and 32 bit tools for me. You can also get MinGW64 for Windows.

I have a fresh install of debian 6.0 64 bit and i looked at the pkg repo whith the search term "Mingw and cross compiler" and installed the recomended packages. Either i am stupid or there is no 64 bit cross compiler. But i do lack the motivation to investigate further. Again thank you for your valuable help and the provided binaries.

Aside from the normal gcc-mingw32 package on debian (which contains the 64bit amd64-gcc cross compiler) you also need to install the mingw64 package which contains certain essential files that you won't be able to compile without.
Debian installs the compiler into /usr/amd64-mingw32msvc/bin by default, but I'm not clear on whether or not that's added to the system-wide PATH. You might need a line like this to be able to find it:
export PATH="/usr/amd64-mingw32msvc/bin:$PATH"
Some pretty good, Debian specific instructions are provided here: http://tinc-vpn.org/examples/cross-compiling-64-bit-windows-binary/
