-The version required must be at least 9.2.0. Although versions like the 6.x series will compile Orx projects fine, you will have problems trying to attach a debugger. So get the specific version or higher.

+Additionally, when you install newer versions of Codelite, it will ask you to Scan or Install a MinGW. It will install the latest if you choose to. Currently, we recommended to pause at that point and follow the instructions below to ensure you have the right version of MinGW.

+Orx no longer supports the TDM versions or vanilla versions of MinGW.

 ===== Getting MinGW =====
-Start by downloading the MinGW installer at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download
+Start by downloading the MinGW-w64 installer at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/installer/mingw-w64-install.exe/download
-Run the installer and go through the steps. These are outlined on this page: http://orx-project.org/wiki/tutorials/compiling_orx_with_mingw32_gmake
+Run the installer and go through the steps. These are outlined on this page: [[en:tutorials:orx:windows:compiling_orx_with_mingw32_gmake|Compiling Orx with MinGW-w64/gmake on Windows]], but only follow the steps titled **Getting MinGW-w64** and **Updating the PATH environment variable**.

 ===== Telling Codelite about the new Compiler =====
-  - In Codelite, go to Settings / Build Settings.
+  * In Codelite, go to Settings / Build Settings.
-  - Click the orange "Scan for compilers" button.
+  * Click the "Scan for compilers" button (latest versions of codelite, this is a magnify icon).
-  - The MinGW compiler you installed will become listed.
+  * The MinGW compiler you installed will become listed.
-  - Double click it to set as the default compiler.
+  * If you installed both 32 and 64-bit compilers, it may not detect them both. If not, add it manually with the add button.
-  - Ok to close the dialog.
+  * Once both compilers are added, edit the one called: ''gnu g++''. We are going to make this one switchable between 32 and 64-bit
-  - Open your project, or Orx project. You can build your Workspace. You might be prompted to set a compiler for your project, if so, choose your compiler from the dropdown again.
+  * Change the settings to the following:
+{{ tutorials:tooling:codelite-compiler-settings.png?nolink |}}
+  * Ok to close the dialog.
+  * Open your project, or Orx library project (for building orx itself). You can build your Workspace. You might be prompted to set a compiler for your project, if so, choose your compiler as ''gnu g++'' from the dropdown again.
+Now you can compile any of the 32-bit or 64-bit build configurations and Codelite will know which version of the MinGW compiler to use.
 You're all good to go.
