Re: Cross-compiling for i686-pc-mingw32
Greetings, Charles Wilson! With cygwin-1.5.25 I can cross-compile libraries for native win32 by starting with the following configure command: ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin CC='gcc -mno-cygwin' host_alias=i686-pc-mingw32 and that has worked fine on the few occasions that I've tried it. However, with cygwin-1.7.5, it doesn't work. For now, use CC='gcc-3 -mno-cygwin'. Soon you'll be able to use a real, honest-to-god cross compiler version of gcc-4 instead (e.g. i686-pc-mingw32-gcc) Aww... now i'm struck with it. Tried to compile http://www.acme.com/software/mini_httpd/ Installed gcc-mingw, it pulled up some additional packets including gcc itself. Then I ran make just for test. Cygwin build went fine, apart from htpasswd (there's getline redefined in source), but I don't really need it. Then tried to switch to mingw32 and... $ gcc -b i686-pc-mingw32 -O -c mini_httpd.c gcc: couldn't run `i686-pc-mingw32-gcc-3.4.4': No such file or directory Tried the suggested gcc-3 -mno-cygwin, and got a whole bunch of unresolved function names. So... am I doing something wrong or it's not yet ready to do so? -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 01.09.2010, 17:53 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

So... am I doing something wrong or it's not yet ready to do so? Can you be more specific about what you did? For example, your original post stated you could use 'gcc -mno-cygwin' when configuring back in the days of 1.5.x. Are you saying that substituting 'gcc-3' for 'gcc' in that invocation doesn't work with 1.7.x? If so, we need to see more details.

It is not supposed to, and it is building fine with cygwin (and working surprisingly fine, too). I just want to know, if it's expected behavior for now, or do I need some more packages installed to be able to cross-compile applications, besides gcc-mingw and associated. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 01.09.2010, 21:03 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Cross-compiling for i686-pc-mingw32
Hi, With cygwin-1.5.25 I can cross-compile libraries for native win32 by starting with the following configure command: ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin CC='gcc -mno-cygwin' host_alias=i686-pc-mingw32 and that has worked fine on the few occasions that I've tried it. However, with cygwin-1.7.5, it doesn't work. To begin with, '-mno-cygwin' now causes an error - so I've tried removing the CC argument and leaving the rest of the command unchanged. Then the building of the library (currently proj-4.7.0) works fine - but the resulting library is built for i686-pc-cygwin, not for i686-pc-mingw32. Do I need to run a different configure command ? Or have I missed something ? Attached is the config.log for one of my cross-compilation attempts. In it I see: configure:3745: checking build system type configure:3763: result: i686-pc-cygwin configure:3785: checking host system type configure:3800: result: i686-pc-mingw32 However, proj.exe (one of the executables that gets built) needs the cygwin dll in order to run. With cygwin-1.5.25, proj.exe is definitely a win32 app (doesn't need the cygwin dll).
