Thanks r_m_r, this seems to be what i wanted a canadian-cross
compiler, just didnt have the right term for it. Will have a
look into this. Cheers!
You don't need a canadian cross compiler. The terminology is a
little
confusing, but a canadian cross compiler is if you compile _the
compiler_ on OS1, run the compiler on OS2 and the compiler
generates
code for OS3. (and OS1 != OS2, OS2 != OS3)
In your case OS1==OS2==linux and OS3==mingw. This is a normal
cross
compiler.
The instructions here:
http://gdcproject.org/wiki/Cross%20Compiler/crosstool-NG
should work. But the gdc windows binaries published by Daniel
Green
have some additional bug fixes which are not part of the
official gdc
source code so you won't get those fixes with your cross
compiler.
See now i feel off knowing that there are patches i dont have and
all...
Maybe i should wait for dmd's win64 support and compile llvm with
visual studio, i wanted to target win64 really with this project
and don't care much for 32bit support. This would be fine i guess
so long as i could get away with being able to compile without
using the llvm-config tool that gives you the library and include
paths based on command line input because i am assuming i cant do
something like that from a visualD or some such project.
