2) build

make

zlib

use mingw version!

1) fix serialization.cpp to not set ZLIB_WINAPI in case of __MINGW32__ is defined

irrlicht engine (different versions)

directx sdk (tested with June 2010 version)

download direct x sdk from microsoft and install

irrlicht-1.8.1

download official sdk pack it contains precompiled builds

irrlicht-1.8

• extract package

1) edit irrlicht makefile

1.1) add directx sdk inc path to CXXINCS using -I"path"

1.2) add directx sdk lib path to CXXINCS using -L"path"

1.3) enable direct x by commenting the line with NO_IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECT3D_9_

1.4) add -ldinput8 and -ldxguid to win32 LDFLAGS

1.4) replace -ld3dx9d by d3dx9

2) build

• open msys console
• enter package path

cd irrlicht-1.8/source/Irrlicht
make win32 NDEBUG=1

irrlicht-1.7.3

• extract package

1) edit irrlicht makefile

1.1) add directx sdk inc path to CXXINCS using -I"path"

1.2) add directx sdk lib path to CXXINCS using -L"path"

1.3) enable direct x by commenting the line with NO_IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECT3D_9_

1.4) add -ldinput8 and -ldxguid to win32 LDFLAGS

1.4) replace -ld3dx9d by d3dx9

1.5) remove -Wl,--no-export-all-symbols from LDFLAGS

1.6) open IrrCompileConfig.h in include folder and comment #define _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECT3D_8_

2) build

• open msys console
• enter package path

cd irrlicht-1.7.3/source/Irrlicht
make win32 NDEBUG=1

• extract package
• open msys console
• enter package path

./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
make install

mingw64

download install

msys from mingw32

copy e.g. from mingw32 make sure path for you msys shell is set to mingw64 compiler!
