I recently setup a fresh install of CentOS 8 to use the Mingw Compiler for C++ (I believe it's removed from CentOS 7).
Everything was installed as follows
yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum --enablerepo=PowerTools install mingw32-gcc
yum --enablerepo=PowerTools install mingw64-gcc
Which did give me the commands I wanted both
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
and x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
(specifically for targeting Windows builds)
I am unable to use them though because calling both on a simple cpp file gives the error
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
I can still compile for Linux with the g++
command though without any issue but what am I missing to be able to use the Mingw compilers?
*UPDATE*
By the way this CentOS 8 is running in Docker, I don't know if that makes a difference
