[jazzplusplus-devel] Cross-Compiling

[Patrick E. <pa...@pa...>]

Well, in taking too long of a break from my real work, I installed the 
mingw32 cross-compiler.  After dos2unixing all of wxWidgets' 
configure type scripts, I have the wxWindows library compiling on my 
box.

The next step will be compiling Jazz with the windows compiler and 
library and seeing what happens.  Right now, there are problems with 
the dependency on ALSA.  We'll need to at least start the conversion 
to portmidi to make things compile.  It's probably a good idea to 
make sure things compile under windows as we go.  Ensures that we 
don't end up with a super mess later on.

For informational purposes, here's the rough steps I followed on my 
debian box:

1.  Installed the three mingw32 packages.
2.  Extracted the wxMSW source.
3.  Converted all the configure.in files and the other files in the 
top level dir to unix format.
4.  Ran autoconf in all of the dirs with configure.in files.
5.  Did this:
        ./configure --with-msw --disable-shared 
--host=i586-mingw32msvc --prefix=/home/patearl/usr/wxmsw-2.4.2
6.  Ran make
7.  Watched the magic happen.
