First, install MinGW
sudo apt install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64-posix
sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64-posix

Then, clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

• then, for compilation, we need to modify the pthread flag and static linklibgcc andlibstdc++ as follows:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-posix -I. -O3 -std=c11 -mfma -mf16c -mavx -mavx2 -c ggml.c -o ggml.o

x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++-posix -I. -I./examples -O3 -std=c++11 -lwinpthread -c whisper.cpp -o whisper.o

x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++-posix -I. -I./examples -O3 -std=c++11 -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -lwinpthread examples/main/main.cpp ggml.o whisper.o -o main

the compiled executable was tested on an Intel 4th gen CPU and it workedBUT accented characters do not show correctly (not a problem for english). A workaround (the problem might be with MinGW): before using main.exe on a command prompt window, execute the commandchcp 65001 (UTF-8 encoding).

Tried to run it on a 3rd gen intel CPU but did not work.
