installing mingw-w64-v7 : configuration error - mingw-w64

I'm trying to install on windows 10 mingw-w64-v7. So I download source from sourceforge and I tried to compile them on my computer. But It doesn't work.
The command ./configure give me :

I am not really experiment with windows. I need to compile my C++17 code on windows. What can I do to resolve my problem ?

A recent version of MinGW-w64 7.0.0 with the latest GCC 10 for Windows can be found at http://winlibs.com/

installing anaconda in aarch64 linux

i am trying to install anaconda for aarch64 linux . the instance is setup in oracle cloud and the image used for the instance is oracle linux 8
i downloaded the distribution for anacoda from the repository
Anaconda3-2021.04-Linux-aarch64.sh
when i tried to execute it
i am getting the error

As jww pointed out, a solution is to edit configure.ac. And if it works to submit this change upstream.
But you can probably get away with just editing the configure script. Look for the string 26 27 28 and add 29 at the end.
Since the author of the software you are trying to compile didn't test this combination, there is of course the chance that there were incompatible changes in neon and it doesn't work.

Configure options for building MinGW-64 on linux-64 for linux-64 (ultimately targetting windows-64)

I want to build MinGW-w64 where:
A: I want to compile MinGW itself on Linux (64-bit).
B: I want the MinGW tools (compiler, etc) to run on Linux (64-bit).
C: I want the MinGW tools (compiler, etc) to produce code that runs on Windows 64-bit (Win7 & Win8).
I'm having trouble at the configure stage. I've googled around a bit but I can't find out what options I need to pass to configure.
I have downloaded the source for MinGW-w64 SVN from (https://svn.code.sf.net/p/mingw-w64/code/trunk/).
(AFAICT this is the current official repo).
The source has a text help (mingw-w64-doc/howto-build/mingw-w64-howto-build.txt). However, this is primarily intended for those wanting to run MinGW tools on Windows.
The example options (for a non-multilib w64 target) are: --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --disable-multilib
But I think I want the host option to refer to linux (right?). I've tried --host=x86_64-linux-gnuand --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu but no luck.
I get the error:
configure: error: Please check if the mingw-w64 header set and the build/host option are set properly.
configure: error: ../../../svn/mingw-w64-v6615-2014-05-07/mingw-w64-crt/configure failed for mingw-w64-crt

NOTE: I can successfully compile native GCC & Clang from source.
Purpose:
My ultimate goal is to use the latest Clang to produce C++14 code for Windows 7/8 64-bit (including D3D11 & OpenGL).
I want to build trunk MinGW because the latest Clang produces assembly code that the default MinGW cannot assemble (mainly "junk at end of line" errors).
As of 2014-05-07 (today), only Clang offers full C++14 support, and I am making use of features only available in Clang (eg: variable templates).
Yet, Clang relies on GCC / MinGW for assembling and linking.
Info:
OS: Linux Mint 16 64-bit (XFCE).
Thanks for all assistance.
Old question, but an answer might be helpful to those coming from google.
The host and build flags are a bit misleading. The info from the help page at mingw-w64-crt/configure --help shows:
System types:
--build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
--host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
So we want to leave --build alone, and specify the windows system we wish to cross-compile for with --host.
So, the way to build for 64bit windows, and include both 32bit and 64bit libraries and std::experimental features is with:
./configure --enable-lib32 --enable-lib64 --enable-experimental --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
It's very similar if you want to build for 32bit windows, but of course you can't enable 64bit mode:
./configure --enable-lib32 --enable-experimental --host=i686-w64-mingw32
https://github.com/Zeranoe/mingw-w64-build
I think your answer is here:
./mingw-w64-build x86_64 for 64bit;
or
./mingw-w64-build x86_64 i686 for 32bit.
I met the same error while configuring. After reading the shell in mingw-w64-build this file, I think you will have to execute:
./configure in folder ../x86_64-w64-v8.0.0/mingw-w64-headers,
then
./configure in folder ../x86_64-w64-v8.0.0/mingw-w64-crt,
and finally
./configure in folder ../x86_64-w64-v8.0.0/mingw-w64-libraries/winpthreads.
I did not verify the whole process manually, because this shell file just did the job.
Maybe you could try this - its the latest version of mingw and you dont have to compile it by yourself:
https://github.com/Zeranoe/mingw-w64-build
it supports almost all distros...

Cross-Compiling Iperf using Android NDK toolchain : Iperf running in host machine but not in target machine

I am trying to compile iperf source code and run it on android devices.I am using an ubuntu server for compiling the code. I have downloaded the iperf source code as well as the Android NDK. I built the toolchain using make-standalone-toolchain.sh. Then I added the toolchain/bin to my path. I ran arm-linux-androideabi-gcc -v to make sure it is in my path.
Then I went to the iperf source code and configured it using the following command
./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=$HOMER/iperf_install CC=arm-linux-androideabi-gcc CXX=arm-linux-androideabi-g++ CFLAGS=-static CXXFLAGS=-static
where $HOMER is my current directory
After this I used the command:
make install
I went to the installation folder(iperf_install) and went to bin and run iperf3 using
./iperf3
I was able to run iperf3 in my ubuntu server but not on my android device.
I got the following logs while configuring :

I want to know why is it not using the right compiler even when I am configuring it with the right compiler. Also will using LDFLAGS make a difference? What difference will it make ? Should I give the address for the local library or should I give the the address of the lib that is included in the android toolchain?
Please help !
You can follow the Dockerfile from this GitHub repo, which contains all necessary steps for Ubuntu to compile iperf/iperf3 for Android devices using Android SDK/NDK.
