Setting Up a Win32 Toolchain with SDL, wxWidgets in Gentoo

General Development "Everyone of us always wanted to have the ability to compile for Windows and Unix in one makefile, right? Unfortunately, there is very few documentation on this topic and I had quite a hard time to get things working the way I wanted to. I wrote this small how-to to share the way I managed to build my toolchain with other people."

"I didn’t test them on Windows, yet but I strongly believe they will run. If you run into troubles, please report them to me."

hrmmm

Well, I developed a formula to grow money on trees and a syrum to make you immortal. I haven't tested it yet, but you can bet it works!

Sound interesting, but how can I compile my c and c++ files with it?

You mean without Automake and Autoconf?

Set the enviroment variables, and then, instead of gcc/g++, run $CC for C or $CXX for C++.

@BlitzBasic: You didn't get the point of free software, did you? And BlitzBasic isn't C/C++, which makes it uninteresting for most people.

No, I meant Blitzbasic....it was ironic, because BlitzBasic is 100% not what I want when I try to compile some win32 c/c++/pascal programs under linux for windows.

Cross-compiler for FC4 - to - Win32

I have built the Mingw cross-compiler for Linux several times for building Inkscape for Windows, so I am fairly familiar with the process. But it can be confusing for beginners in the cross-compiler world. So I posted a copy of the current (gcc3.4.4) version of the Mingw cross-compiler, built on Fedora Core 4, at:

http://inkscape.org/win32/xmingw-3.4.4.tar.bz2

It is built to be unpacked to /usr/local/xmingw32. Just put /usr/local/xmingw32/bin at the front of your PATH, remember to call the compiler explicitly such as 'i686-pc-mingw32-gcc', and have fun. It has C and C++, and should run on most recent distros without any trouble.

Oops. The path should be:

/usr/local/xmingw
