Hi. Is it still possible to compile my studies with MingW or Sierra just converted everything to VSC++ ? The download compiler button now brings VSC++ installer. If MingW is still possible, is there a procedure to compile using it?

If you are on the current version of Sierra Chart you can use the "Remote Build" button on the Build Custom Studies DLL window. This will use MinGW.

That would not be usefull in my case. I have an IDE that only supports MingW and Cygwin (Jetbrains) and as I'm used to it, I'd like to debug using this tool. Any hint such as a compile script and what compiling options and settings for Mingw whould I use so I can mimic it in my IDE? I mean something lik VisualCCompile.bat or even BuildProgramOutput.txt when using MingW, and the versions of the compiler are compatible with Sierra. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-12-06 10:48:45

Here are the commandline parameters you should use with the compiler: i686-w64-mingw32-g++ -march=i686 -mtune=i686 -O2 -shared -static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -s -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -std=gnu++11 SourceFileName.cpp Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

You can safely disregard those warnings. We will see if we can do something about them. We would not be concerned about the generated DLL size. Must have something to do with static linking to the libraries: -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

SC Support fyi: it's -static-libstdc++ linking libs from 17k to 952k

SC Support Yes, this does make sense. It looks like a compiler's cheat. iostream was not added by g++ statically that days we were using it as the basic tool now ms c++ compiler does that trick and it is not working for g++ and *.dll will be increased by adding iostream lib because of an enemy environment :) so it happens on windows and it doesn't on linux since you are now ms fans again :)

SC Support Not a big deal but is it make sense to set RecordSize = sizeof(s_IntradayRecord); for struct s_IntradayHeader{}; as it is the docs?

Is it possible to use the 64 bit version of MinGW ?
