Thus, it provides a nice MinGW cross compiling environment which </p> <ul> <li> is designed to <a href="#requirements">run on any Unix system</a> </li> <li> is easy to adapt and to extend </li> <li> builds <a href="#packages">many free libraries</a> in addition to the cross compiler </li> <li> can also <a href="#usage">build just a subset</a> of the packages, and automatically builds their dependencies </li> <li> downloads all needed packages and verifies them by their checksums </li> <li> is able to update the version numbers of all packages automatically </li> <li> directly uses source packages, thus ensuring the whole build mechanism is transparent </li> <li> allows inter-package and intra-package <a href="#usage">parallel builds</a> whenever possible </li> <li> creates libraries to be linked statically, no DLL hell </li> </ul> </div> <div class="section"> <h2 id="screenshots">Screenshots</h2> <p> Cross compiling <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~thebeez/4tH/">4tH</a>: </p> <a href="screenshot-4th-compile.png"><img src="screenshot-4th-compile-small.png" alt="4th-compile"></a> <p> and running it: </p> <a href="screenshot-4th-run.png"><img src="screenshot-4th-run-small.png" alt="4th-run"></a> </div> <div class="section"> <h2 id="tutorial">Tutorial</h2> <h3>Step 1: Download and Unpack</h3> <p> First, you should ensure that your system meets mingw-cross-env's <a href="#requirements">requirements</a>. You probably need to install some stuff. </p> <p> When everything is fine, download the <a href="#latest-release">latest release</a>: </p> <pre>wget http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/mingw-cross-env/mingw-cross-env-<span class="version">X.Y</span>.tar.gz</pre> <p> and unpack the tarball: </p> <pre>tar -xzvf mingw-cross-env-<span class="version">X.Y</span>.tar.gz</pre> <p> If you don't mind installing it in your home directory, just skip the following step and go straight to step 3. </p> <h3>Step 2: System-wide Installation (optional)</h3> <p> Now you should save any previous installation of the mingw-cross-env. Assuming you've installed it under /opt/mingw (any other directory will do as well), you should execute the following commands: </p> <pre>su mv /opt/mingw /opt/mingw.old exit</pre> <p> Then you need to transfer the entire directory to its definitive location. We will assume again you use /opt/mingw, but feel free to use any other directory if you like. </p> <pre>su mv mingw-cross-env-<span class="version">X.Y</span> /opt/mingw exit</pre> <p> We're almost done. Just change to your newly created directory and get going: </p> <pre>cd /opt/mingw</pre> <h3>Step 3: Build mingw-cross-env</h3> <p> Enter the directory where you've unpacked the mingw-cross-env. Now it depends on what you actually want – or need. </p> <p> If you choose to enter: </p> <pre>make</pre> <p> you're in for a long wait, because it compiles <a href="#packages">a lot of packages</a>. On the other hand it doesn't require any intervention, so you're free to do whatever you like – like watch a movie or go for a night on the town. When it's done you'll find that you've installed a very capable Win32 cross compiler onto your system. </p> <p> If you only need the most basic tools you can also use: </p> <pre>make gcc</pre> <p> and add any additional packages you need later on. You can also supply a host of packages on the <a href="#usage">command line</a>, e.g.: </p> <pre>make gtk lua libidn</pre> <p> You'll always end up with a consistent cross compiling environment. </p> <p> After you're done it just needs a little post-installation. </p> <h3>Step 4: Environment Variables</h3> <p> Edit your .bashrc script in order to change $PATH: </p> <pre>export PATH=/<em>where mingw-cross-env is installed</em>/usr/bin:$PATH</pre> <p> Note that any compiler related environment variables (like $CC, $LDFLAGS, etc.) may spoil your compiling pleasure, so be sure to delete or disable those. </p> <p> Congratulations! You're ready to cross compile anything you like. </p> <h3>Step 5a: Cross compile your Project (Autotools)</h3> <p> If you use the <a href="http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html">Autotools</a>, all you have to do is: </p> <pre>./configure --host=<span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span> make</pre> <p> Don't worry about a warning like this: </p> <pre>configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host. If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.</pre> <p> Everything will be just fine. </p> <h3>Step 5b: Cross compile your Project (Qt)</h3> <p> If you have a <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/">Qt</a> application, all you have to do is: </p> <pre><span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span>-qmake make</pre> <p> If you are using Qt plugins such as database drivers or graphics plugins, you should also have a look at the <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/doc/plugins-howto.html#static-plugins">Qt documentation about static plugins</a>. </p> <h3>Step 5c: Cross compile your Project (Makefile)</h3> <p> If you have a handwritten Makefile, you probably will have to make a few adjustments to it: </p> <pre>CC=$(CROSS)gcc LD=$(CROSS)ld AR=$(CROSS)ar</pre> <p> You may have to add a few others, depending on your project. </p> <p> Then, all you have to do is: </p> <pre>make CROSS=<span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span>-</pre> <p> That's it! </p> <h3>Step 5d: Cross compile your Project (OSG)</h3> <p> Using static OpenSceneGraph libraries requires a few changes to your source. The graphics subsystem and all plugins required by your application must be referenced explicitly. Use a code block like the following: </p> <pre>#ifdef OSG_LIBRARY_STATIC USE_GRAPHICSWINDOW() USE_OSGPLUGIN(<plugin1>) USE_OSGPLUGIN(<plugin2>) ... #endif</pre> <p> Look at <code>examples/osgstaticviewer/osgstaticviewer.cpp</code> in the OpenSceneGraph source distribution for an example. This example can be compiled with the following command: </p> <pre>i686-pc-mingw32-g++ \ -o osgstaticviewer.exe examples/osgstaticviewer/osgstaticviewer.cpp \ `i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config --cflags openscenegraph-osgViewer openscenegraph-osgPlugins` \ `i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config --static --libs openscenegraph-osgViewer openscenegraph-osgPlugins`</pre> <p> The <code>i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config</code> command from mingw-cross-env will automatically add <code>-DOSG_LIBRARY_STATIC</code> to your compiler flags. </p> <h3>Further Steps</h3> <p> If you need further assistance, feel free to join the <a href="http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mingw-cross-env-list">project mailing list</a> where you'll get in touch with the mingw-cross-env developers and other users. </p> </div> <div class="section"> <h2 id="latest-release">Latest Release</h2> <dl> <dt>2010-xx-xx – Release <span id="latest-version">2.11</span></dt> <dd> <p> <a

<p> This release fixes some minor build issues, and contains a first small set of test programs to check the package builds. </p> <p> The build rules are simplified by calling generators like Autotools and Flex, instead of patching the generated files. </p> <p> Almost all packages are updated to their latest version. </p> <p> Many new packages are supported: aubio, devil, directx, exiv2, fftw, gsoap, id3lib, liblo, libpano13, libsamplerate, openscenegraph and portaudio. </p> </dd> <dt>Old Releases</dt> <dd> <a href="#history">History</a> </dd> </dl> </div> <div class="section"> <h2
