On Windows

The release for Windows is provided in a ZIP archive. The file name is Jamaica-version-mingw-target.zip. For installation the archive needs to be unpacked using some ZIP command. The archive have to be extracted to the destination directory C:/Programs/jamaica.

If you want to compile programs for Windows target with Jamaica you also need to install the MinGW-Binaries and the PThread-extensions. It may also be useful for you to install the MSYS-package which provides some additional Unix tools. Please download the following packages:

Probably new version will also work, but aicas testet only these versions. Please install the MinGW package to C:/Programs/MinGW, the PThread-library to C:/Programs/ and the MSYS package to C:/Programs/MSYS. If you select other installation directories you have to modify the path entries in C:/Programs/jamaica/etc/jamaica.conf.

Warning

Because the filesystem under Windows does not support soft-links you have to add the path C:/Programs/jamaica/bin to the PATH variable to be able to run Jamaica binaries.

For target specific installation hints please check Appendix A.
