Re: [Tuxmath-devel] GSoC 2012 proposal

Hey all,

Sorry Justinas, you might get this twice since I accidentally replied to 
you directly instead of the mailing list...

Not sure if any of you are familiar with Vagrant ( http://vagrantup.com/ 
), but would anyone be interested in an image for*cross-compiling* 
windows installation executables? I built one for myself this afternoon. 
It's built on Ubuntu Maverick and rather messy, but (with the patch I 
sent out in a separate email) it produces working executables for 
windows. It's based on the mingw cross-env method listed in the doc/INSTALL

You can set up a folder that's shared between your local system and the 
virtual machine. So you can edit the files in your favorite Windows 
editor, then tab over to your putty session to the virtual machine and 
compile the executable, then tab back to Windows and run the installer 
from the shared folder. And you can keep the VM on a flash drive to 
easily switch between computers. It takes me literally 5 seconds to go 
from editing on my desktop to my laptop. Pretty nifty!

Of course it's still not compiling TuxMath on windows... but this way is 
so much easier with the same end-result, I'm not sure why you'd bother.

Cheers!
Kento
