To link with Wt (Witty) and MinGW-w64 on Windows, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Install MinGW-w64: Download and install MinGW-w64, which is a toolchain that provides the necessary tools to compile and link C++ code on Windows. Make sure to choose the appropriate version for your system (32-bit or 64-bit). You can download MinGW-w64 from the official website: https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php

  2. Install Wt (Witty): Download and install the Wt library, which is a C++ web toolkit that allows you to build web applications. You can download Wt from the official website: https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/download

  3. Set environment variables: After installing MinGW-w64, add the MinGW-w64 bin directory to your system's PATH environment variable. This allows you to access the MinGW-w64 tools from the command line. The bin directory is typically located in the MinGW-w64 installation directory.

  4. Create a Wt project: Create a new Wt project or use an existing one. Make sure to configure the project to use the MinGW-w64 compiler.

  5. Build the project: Use the MinGW-w64 compiler to build your Wt project. Open a command prompt or terminal, navigate to the project directory, and execute the build command. The specific build command may vary depending on your project setup, but it typically involves using the g++ command to compile and link the source files with the Wt library.

    For example:

    shell
    g++ -o MyProject main.cpp -lwthttp -lwt

    This command compiles the main.cpp file and links it with the wthttp and wt libraries.

  6. Run the project: After a successful build, you can run your Wt project by executing the generated executable file.

    For example:

    shell
    ./MyProject.exe

    This command runs the generated executable file named MyProject.exe.

Make sure to consult the Wt documentation and tutorials for more detailed instructions on setting up and building Wt projects with MinGW-w64 on Windows.
