If you want to use the unmodified scripts, you will need a cross-compiler, from x86_64-linux-gnu to *-w64-mingw32, where "*" signifies either x86_64 or i686. You will need the usual utilities (in addition to plain linux gcc+binutils as provided by your distribution): - bison - flex - zip - unzip - make So something like Ubuntu's "build-essential" package + zip and unzip. What's the filename of the archive you tried to use? Note I have never tested a source release... yet. > 2) what of five scripts to run? (I should really write a decent readme for the scripts...) buildlinux64.sh - broken and unused, ignore. I should remove that. buildcross*.sh - run one of these first, then you'll have a linux 64-bit to Windows "*" toolchain. buildmingw*.sh - first add "<root_of_package>/cross*/cross*/bin" to your PATH. Then run this script. So, if all goes well, you can just do (from the root directory where you extracted the source package): ./buildcross64.sh export PATH=`pwd`/cross64/cross64/bin:$PATH ./buildmingw64.sh This will build a cross-compiler, add the new toolchain to PATH, and use that to build a native compiler. Depending on what mistakes are still in the source package scripts, this should hopefully work. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
