[TiLP-devel] libticables2 cross-compiling issues

[Benjamin M. <bm...@WP...>]

Hi all,

A few problems come up when cross-compiling the Windows version of
libticables2 1.0.8:

(1) The src/win64 directory isn't in the distribution!

(2) build/mingw/Makefile* and src/win32/dha/Makefile* expect to find a
program called "windres".  Obviously this doesn't work when
cross-compiling.  The name of the program should instead be determined
by configure using e.g. AC_CHECK_TOOL.

(3) the following needed to be changed:

--- libticables2-1.0.8-orig/src/win32/link_gry.c	2006-11-06 12:08:45.000000000 -0500
