copied!<p>For old versions of MinGW, you can use a wrapper:</p> <p>mingw-unicode-main:</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/coderforlife/mingw-unicode-main/" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/coderforlife/mingw-unicode-main/</a></p> <blockquote> <p>Simple wrappers to add wmain and wWinMain support in MinGW</p> <p>These wrappers allow for use of wmain / wWinMain in MinGW seamlessly with Unicode (WCHAR), regular (CHAR), or the ability to choose (TCHAR).</p> <p>The instructions for using them are in the files. Also take a look at other programs that use them.</p> </blockquote> <hr> <p>For new versions of MinGW, you should use the <code>-municode</code> option, like it says in the mingw-unicode-main readme:</p> <blockquote> <p>Note: This should no longer be used as MinGW now has a built-in solution. Add -municode to the command line (and possibly extern "C" to the wmain function).</p> </blockquote> <p>The <code>-municode</code> option works with MinGW-w64. In 2012-07, when I tried MinGW, it did not have the <code>-municode</code> option.</p> <p>Here is how to install MinGW-w64:</p> <p>Target Win32:</p> <ul> <li><p>Home > Toolchains targetting Win32 > Personal Builds > rubenvb > gcc-4.7-release:</p> <p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.7-release/" rel="noreferrer">http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.7-release/</a></p></li> <li><p>On Windows, you want "i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.7.2-release-<strong>win32</strong>_rubenvb.7z".</p></li> <li><p>Extract folder to the root of your drive.</p></li> <li><p>Rename the "mingw32" folder to "MinGW-32".</p></li> </ul> <p>Target Win64:</p> <ul> <li><p>Home > Toolchains targetting Win64 > Personal Builds > rubenvb > gcc-4.7-release:</p> <p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.7-release/" rel="noreferrer">http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.7-release/</a></p></li> <li><p>On Windows, you want "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.7.2-release-<strong>win32</strong>_rubenvb.7z".</p></li> <li><p>Extract folder to the root of your drive.</p></li> <li><p>Rename the "mingw64" folder to "MinGW-64".</p></li> </ul> <hr> <p>Unicode-related questions:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10932473/how-do-i-use-the-entry-point-wmain-in-codeblocks/">How do I use the wmain() entry point in Code::Blocks?</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5366208/compiling-windows-program-in-dev-c-gives-error/">Compiling Windows program in Dev-C++ gives error</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4661304/define-unicode-not-working-with-mingw-codeblocks/">#define _UNICODE not working with MinGW + CodeBlocks</a></li> </ul>
