hi, the script to build the multi-platform GNU ARM Eclipse QEMU is now fully functional and is able to create: - windows nsis setup files - os x pkg install packages - linux tgz archives.
the windows versions (both 32-bit and 64-bit) are cross compiled with mingw-w64 on ubuntu. the gnu/linux versions are built on debian 32 and debian 64, respectively. the os x version is built on os x 10.10 (64-bits only) since the mingw-w64 build required most libraries to be build locally, I decided to use them for all platforms, to reduce the dependencies on the host system and to have a better control of the configuration details. on builds for windows and linux are static. however due to the specifics of mingw-w64, the windows packages still include some system dll files. the os x static build failed in the pixman configure, and I decided to temporarily keep it non-static. the windows setups also register various registry keys, to be used by the QEMU debug plug-in, for automatic configuration of the path to the executable. all platform packages support installing multiple versions of the qemu, by using a version specific sub-folder. the script will be used to generate the first public versions of GNU ARM Eclipse QEMU, probably in 2-3 weeks time. for those interested, the script can be viewed at: https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuarmeclipse/qemu/ci/gnuarmeclipse-dev/tree/gnuarmeclipse/scripts/build-qemu.sh any comments are welcome, Liviu
