[Mingw-users] Updated script for making a MinGW Linux-to-Windows cross compiler

[Igor Mikolic-T. <igo...@co...>]

Hi,

I updated and improved the previously existing script located at 
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cross/ for building a Linux-based MinGW 
cross-compiler.

Improvements I made include:
1. Adapted the script to the new packaging of MinGW GCC, which is now split 
into core and auxiliary components.
2. Now determine the GCC and BINUTILS directory names directly from the tar 
file contents.  This gets around common problems due to the directory names 
not always following the expected patterns.
3. Grouped together and simplified the macros that users need to define.
4. Made optional components truly optional -- leave the corresponding archive 
names blank and they will be ignored.
5. Included an option to purge the installation directory before installing 
the current cross-compiler.

I'm happy to share this script, but I don't have a web site I can post it on.   
If somebody would like it and/or has a suitable place to post it, please let 
me know and I'll gladly pass it to you.

Igor
