This Makefile compiles a MinGW cross compiler and cross compiles
many free libraries such as GD, SDL and Qt. Thus, it provides a nice
MinGW cross compiling environment which
</p>
<ul>
<li>
is designed to
<a href="#requirements">run on any Unix system</a>
</li>
<li>
is easy to adapt and to extend
</li>
<li>
builds
<a href="#packages">many free libraries</a>
in addition to the cross compiler
</li>
<li>
can also
<a href="#usage">build just a subset</a>
of the packages,
and automatically builds their dependencies
</li>
<li>
downloads all needed packages
and verifies them by their checksums
</li>
<li>
is able to update the version numbers of all packages automatically
</li>
<li>
directly uses source packages,
thus ensuring the whole build mechanism is transparent
</li>
<li>
allows inter-package and intra-package
<a href="#usage">parallel builds</a>
whenever possible
</li>
<li>
creates libraries to be
<a href="http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/mingw-cross-env-list/2009-09/msg00025.html">linked statically</a>,
no DLL hell
</li>
<li>
is already
<a href="#used-by">used by several projects</a>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Step 1: Download and Unpack</h3>
<p>
First, you should ensure that your system meets
mingw-cross-env's
<a href="#requirements">requirements</a>.
You will almost certainly have to install some stuff.
</p>
<p>
When everything is fine, download the
<a href="#latest-release">latest release</a>:
</p>
<pre>wget https://bitbucket.org/vog/mingw-cross-env/downloads/mingw-cross-env-<span class="version">X.Y</span>.tar.gz</pre>
<p>
and unpack the tarball:
</p>
<pre>tar -xzvf mingw-cross-env-<span class="version">X.Y</span>.tar.gz</pre>
<p>
If you don't mind installing it in your home directory,
just skip the following step and go straight to step 3.
</p>
<h3>Step 2: System-wide Installation (optional)</h3>
<p>
Now you should save any previous installation
of the mingw-cross-env.
Assuming you've installed it under
/opt/mingw (any other directory will do as well),
you should execute the following commands:
</p>
<pre>su
mv /opt/mingw /opt/mingw.old
exit</pre>
<p>
Then you need to transfer the entire directory to its definitive location.
We will assume again you use /opt/mingw,
but feel free to use any other directory if you like.
</p>
<pre>su
mv mingw-cross-env-<span class="version">X.Y</span> /opt/mingw
exit</pre>
<p>
We're almost done.
Just change to your newly created directory and get going:
</p>
<pre>cd /opt/mingw</pre>
<h3>Step 3: Build mingw-cross-env</h3>
<p>
Enter the directory where you've unpacked the
mingw-cross-env.
Now it depends on what you actually want – or need.
</p>
<p>
If you choose to enter:
</p>
<pre>make</pre>
<p>
you're in for a long wait,
because it compiles
<a href="#packages">a lot of packages</a>.
On the other hand it doesn't require any intervention,
so you're free to do whatever you like
– like watch a movie or go for a night on the town.
When it's done you'll find that you've installed
a very capable Win32 cross compiler onto your system.
</p>
<p>
If you only need the most basic tools you can also use:
</p>
<pre>make gcc</pre>
<p>
and add any additional packages you need later on.
You can also supply a host of packages on the
<a href="#usage">command line</a>,
e.g.:
</p>
<pre>make gtk lua libidn</pre>
<p>
You'll always end up with a consistent cross compiling environment.
</p>
<p>
After you're done it just needs a little post-installation.
</p>
<h3>Step 4: Environment Variables</h3>
<p>
Edit your .bashrc script in order to change $PATH:
</p>
<pre>export PATH=/<em>where mingw-cross-env is installed</em>/usr/bin:$PATH</pre>
<p>
In case you are using custom $PKG_CONFIG_PATH entries,
you can add separate entries for MinGW cross builds:
</p>
<pre>export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="<em>entries for native builds</em>"</pre>
<pre>export PKG_CONFIG_PATH_<span class="target-underscore">i686_pc_mingw32</span>="<em>entries for mingw-cross-env builds</em>"</pre>
<p>
Remember to use <span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span>-pkg-config
instead of pkg-config for cross builds.
The Autotools do that automatically for you.
</p>
<p>
Note that any other compiler related environment variables
(like $CC, $LDFLAGS, etc.)
may spoil your compiling pleasure,
so be sure to delete or disable those.
</p>
<p>
Congratulations!
You're ready to cross compile anything you like.
</p>
<h3>Step 5a: Cross compile your Project (Autotools)</h3>
<p>
If you use the
<a href="http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html">Autotools</a>,
all you have to do is:
</p>
<pre>./configure --host=<span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span>
make</pre>
<p>
If you build a library, you might also want to enforce a static build:
</p>
<pre>./configure --host=<span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span> --enable-static --disable-shared
make</pre>
<p>
Don't worry about a warning like this:
</p>
<pre>configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.</pre>
<p>
Everything will be just fine.
</p>
<h3>Step 5b: Cross compile your Project (CMake)</h3>
<p>
If you have a
<a href="http://www.cmake.org/">CMake</a> project,
you can use the provided toolchain file:
</p>
<pre>cmake ... -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/<em>where mingw-cross-env is installed</em>/usr/<span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span>/share/cmake/mingw-cross-env-conf.cmake</pre>
<h3>Step 5c: Cross compile your Project (Qt)</h3>
<p>
If you have a
<a href="http://qt.nokia.com/">Qt</a> application,
all you have to do is:
</p>
<pre><span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span>-qmake
make</pre>
<p>
If you are using Qt plugins
such as the svg or ico image handlers,
you should also have a look at the
<a href="http://qt.nokia.com/doc/plugins-howto.html#static-plugins">Qt documentation about static plugins</a>.
</p>
<p>
Note the sql drivers (-qt-sql-*)
and the image handlers for jpeg, tiff, gif and mng
are built-in, <em>not</em> plugins.
</p>
<h3>Step 5d: Cross compile your Project (Makefile)</h3>
<p>
If you have a handwritten Makefile,
you probably will have to make a few adjustments to it:
</p>
<pre>CC=$(CROSS)gcc
LD=$(CROSS)ld
AR=$(CROSS)ar
PKG_CONFIG=$(CROSS)pkg-config</pre>
<p>
You may have to add a few others, depending on your project.
</p>
<p>
Then, all you have to do is:
</p>
<pre>make CROSS=<span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span>-</pre>
<p>
That's it!
</p>
<h3>Step 5e: Cross compile your Project (OSG)</h3>
<p>
Using static OpenSceneGraph libraries requires a few changes to your source.
The graphics subsystem and all plugins required by your application must be
referenced explicitly. Use a code block like the following:
</p>
<pre>#ifdef OSG_LIBRARY_STATIC
USE_GRAPHICSWINDOW()
USE_OSGPLUGIN(<plugin1>)
USE_OSGPLUGIN(<plugin2>)
...
#endif</pre>
<p>
Look at <code>examples/osgstaticviewer/osgstaticviewer.cpp</code> in the
OpenSceneGraph source distribution for an example. This example can be
compiled with the following command:
</p>
<pre>i686-pc-mingw32-g++ \
-o osgstaticviewer.exe examples/osgstaticviewer/osgstaticviewer.cpp \
`i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config --cflags openscenegraph-osgViewer openscenegraph-osgPlugins` \
`i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config --libs openscenegraph-osgViewer openscenegraph-osgPlugins`</pre>
<p>
The <code>i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config</code> command from mingw-cross-env will
automatically add <code>-DOSG_LIBRARY_STATIC</code> to your compiler flags.
</p>

<h2 id="development">Development Version</h2>
<p>
For the sake of simplicity, there are two development
branches - "default" and "stable". Although it might
seem obvious, here's an overview of the types of
changes that go into each branch:
</p>
<ul class="compact-list">
<li>
Any change in the build scripts goes into "default".
</li>
<li>
Any package upgrade goes into "default".
</li>
<li>
Any documentation upgrade that refers to a feature
not present in stable goes into "default".
</li>
<li>
Anything else that doesn't effect the build goes
into "stable".
</li>
<li>
Any non-critical improvement to the main Makefile
goes into "stable".
</li>
<li>
Any improvement in the package download URLs or
package version recognition goes into "stable".
</li>
<li>
When in doubt, use "default" rather than "stable".
</li>
<li>
After a successful testing phase, the whole "default"
branch will be merged (moved) into "stable".
</li>
</ul>
<p>
To obtain the current development version,
install
<a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/">Mercurial</a>
and run:
</p>
<pre>hg clone http://hg.savannah.nongnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env</pre>
<p>
The stable version can be obtained by:
</p>
<pre>hg clone -b stable \
http://hg.savannah.nongnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env</pre>
<p>
To retrieve updates, run:
</p>
<pre>hg pull -u</pre>

<p>
The NSIS package contains some native tools that are
currently 32-bit only. In order to build these on a
64-bit system, multi-lib support must be enabled in the
compiler toolchain. However, not all operating systems
support this.
</p>
<p>
Since no other packages depend on it, the remainder of
mingw-cross-env can be successfully built by simply
removing the package:

<h2 id="creating-packages">Guidelines for Creating Packages</h2>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
The package should be a
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free</a>
<a href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">software</a>
<a href="http://www.opensource.org/osd.html">library</a>
that is really used by one of your applications.
</p>
<p>
BTW, we're always curious about the applications people are porting.
We maintain a
<a href="#used-by">list of projects</a>
which use mingw-cross-env.
No matter whether your project is free or proprietary
– as long as it has its own website,
we'd be happy to link to it.
</p>
<p>
Also, feel free to link to us. :-)
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Grep through the <code>src/*.mk</code> files
to find a project that is most similar to yours.
(Really, <code>grep</code> is your friend here.)
</p>
<p>
For instance,
when adding a GNU library,
you should take a package like
<a href="http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/file/tip/src/gettext.mk">gettext.mk</a>
or
<a href="http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/file/tip/src/libiconv.mk">libiconv.mk</a>
as the base of your work.
When using a SourceForge project,
you could start with a copy of
<a href="http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/file/tip/src/xmlwrapp.mk">xmlwrapp.mk</a>.
And so on.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Adjust the comments,
fill in the <code>$(PKG)_*</code> fields.
</p>
<p>
Be especially careful with the <code>$(PKG)_DEPS</code> section.
The easiest way to get the dependencies right
is to start with a minimal setup.
That is,
initialize mingw-cross-env with <code>make gcc</code> only,
then check whether your package builds successfully.
</p>
<p>
Always list the dependency on <code>gcc</code> explicitly:
</p>
<pre>$(PKG)_DEPS := gcc ...</pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Write your <code>$(PKG)_BUILD</code>.
If your library has a <code>./configure</code> script,
enable/disable all dependency libraries explicitly
via "<code>--enable-*</code>" and "<code>--disable-*</code>" options.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
You might also have to provide a patch for it.
In that case, have a look at other patches such as
<a href="http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/file/tip/src/sdl-2-fix-dinput.patch">sdl-2-fix-dinput.patch</a>.
In particular, each patch file should be named as:
</p>
<pre>PACKAGE-PATCHNUMBER-DESCRIPTION.patch</pre>
<p>
and should start with:
</p>
<pre>This file is part of mingw-cross-env.
See doc/index.html for further information.
This patch has been taken from:
https://...</pre>
<p>
where the URL points to the
bugtracker entry,
mailing list entry or
website
you took the patch from.
</p>
<p>
If you created the patch yourself,
please offer it to the upstream project first,
and point to <em>that</em> URL,
using the same wording:
"This patch has been taken from:".
</p>
<p>
Depending on the feedback you get from the upstream project,
you might want to improve your patch.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If you find some time,
please provide a minimal test program for it.
It should be
simple,
stand alone and
should work unmodified for many (all?) future versions of the library.
Test programs are named as:
</p>
<pre>PACKAGE-test.c</pre>
or
<pre>PACKAGE-test.cpp</pre>
<p>
depending on whether it is a C or C++ library.
To get a clue,
please have a look at existing test programs such as
<a href="http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/file/tip/src/sdl-test.c">sdl-test.c</a>.
</p>
<p>
At the very end of your <code>*.mk</code> file
you should build the test program in a generic way,
using strict compiler flags.
The last few lines of
<a href="http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/file/tip/src/sdl.mk">sdl.mk</a>
will give you a clue.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
You could also try to provide a <code>$(PKG)_UPDATE</code> section.
However, that requires some experience and "feeling" for it.
So it is perfectly okay if you leave the <code>$(PKG)_UPDATE</code> section empty.
We'll fill that in for you.
It's a funny exercise.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Check that you don't have "dirty stuff" in your <code>*.mk</code> files,
such as TAB characters or trailing spaces at lines endings.
Have a look at random <code>*.mk</code> files
to get a feeling for the coding style.
</p>
<p>
The same holds for your test program.
</p>
<p>
However, patch files should always appear
in the same coding style as the files they are patching.
</p>
<p>
Finally, in your <code>$(PKG)_BUILD</code> section,
please check that you use our portability variables:
</p>
<table class="translation">
<tr><td><code>bash</code></td> <td>→</td><td><code>$(SHELL)</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>install</code></td> <td>→</td><td><code>$(INSTALL)</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>libtool</code></td> <td>→</td><td><code>$(LIBTOOL)</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>libtoolize</code></td><td>→</td><td><code>$(LIBTOOLIZE)</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>make</code></td> <td>→</td><td><code>$(MAKE)</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>patch</code></td> <td>→</td><td><code>$(PATCH)</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>sed</code></td> <td>→</td><td><code>$(SED)</code></td></tr>
</table>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Check whether everything runs fine.
If you have some trouble,
don't hesitate to ask on the
<a href="http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mingw-cross-env-list">mailing list</a>,
providing your <code>*.mk</code> file so far.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Propose your final <code>*.mk</code> file to the mailing list.
Don't forget to tell us
if there are some pieces in your <code>*.mk</code> file
you feel unsure about.
We'll then have a specific look at those parts,
which avoids trouble for you and us in the future.
