Hi, sorry to join in late ... but if you want an example of application which cross-compiles, take a look at http://www.minisip.org Minisip is a SIP softphone. If you take the source code from the repository (SVN subversion, not CVS), in the trunk there is a folder named Documentation. In there, we have a step by step file on how to cross-compile it using mingw32 for win32 ssytems, from a linux debian. The truth is that it may not help, as the application is rather complex (it compiles for many other platforms and so , and the whole build system is not exactly beautiful), but hey, maybe you can get the feeling :)
Regards, Cesc PS - We use cross compilation because we need the autoconf, automake and so on ... and i don't feel/know if i can use them from a windows environment :D And anyway, linux is soooo much cooler for a software engineer :D On 2/7/06, L.
