Re: [Help-gsl] test release for GSL 2.2

[Chen, Xianwen]

Dear Max,

I'm interested in compiling and using GSL for Windows 7. I use MINGW64
under Cygwin64.

I exported CFLAGS="-mfpmath=sse -msse2 -O2 -mthreads -DHAVE_INLINE
-DGSL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGSL_RANGE_CHECK=0 -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1" as
you sugested. However, when I make, it seems that it is the gcc that is
used to compile GSL.

I would like to use x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc instead, to produce a more
native (Windows) GSL installation. Do you know how I can achieve that ?

Warm regards,
Xianwen
