MinGW-w64 Build Instructions:

Here you will find instructions on how to build RRDtool using MinGW-w64.
Examples are given for building Windows binaries under Fedora, MSYS2 and MXE.

After a successful build, the RRDtool Windows binaries are found in the following folder:
src/.libs/
Compiled binaries: rrdtool.exe rrdupdate.exe rrdcgi.exe librrd-8.dll
