Hello all,
Customer asked for possibility to port the current (Em)Debian cross-toolchain (powerpc) to work under Windows. I'm currently considering to port cross-tools to MinGW (configuring them as --target=powerpc-linux --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i386-linux), using the Debian MinGW cross-environment, or using the Cygwin. I know the Cygwin will work for sure, but now MinGW approcah seems to be realistic, too - I played a little with old arm-cross port for MinGW and I almost was able to build glib-1.20 here! (Manually, though.) So know I'm puzzled what could be wrong with MinGW? Probably the programming environment - it is not POSIX, but I see Python-mingw, and mingw-buildpackage... Could it be possible to set-up a Debian-like build process under Mingw/Msys? (Again - I'm talking about cross-compilation environment, not the way to build native Windows applications.) Thanks is advance, Regards, Sergei PS: Please reply to me directly - I'm not yet subscribed to Debian MLs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
