<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>
This Makefile compiles a MinGW cross compiler and cross compiles
many free libraries such as GD and SDL. 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 linked statically, no DLL hell
</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="tutorial">Tutorial</h2>
<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 probably need to install some stuff.
</p>
<p>
When everything is fine, download the
<a href="#latest-release">latest release</a>:
</p>
<pre>wget http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/mingw-cross-env/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>
Note that any compiler related environment variables
(like $CC, $LDFLAGS, etc.)
may spoil your compiling pleasure,
so be sure to delete or disable those.
</p>
<p>
Congratulations!
You're ready to cross compile anything you like.
</p>
<h3>Step 5a: Cross compile your Project (Autotools)</h3>
<p>
If you use the
<a href="http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html">Autotools</a>,
all you have to do is:
</p>
<pre>./configure --host=<span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span>
make</pre>
<p>
Don't worry about a warning like this:
</p>
<pre>configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.</pre>
<p>
Everything will be just fine.
</p>
<h3>Step 5b: Cross compile your Project (Qt)</h3>
<p>
If you have a
<a href="http://qt.nokia.com/">Qt</a> application,
all you have to do is:
</p>
<pre><span class="target">i686-pc-mingw32</span>-qmake
make</pre>
<p>
If you are using Qt plugins
such as database drivers or graphics plugins,
you should also have a look at the
<a href="http://qt.nokia.com/doc/plugins-howto.html#static-plugins">Qt documentation about static plugins</a>.
</p>
<h3>Step 5c: Cross compile your Project (Makefile)</h3>
<p>
If you have a handwritten Makefile,
you probably will have to make a few adjustments to it:
</p>
<pre>CC=$(CROSS)gcc
LD=$(CROSS)ld
AR=$(CROSS)ar</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>Further Steps</h3>
<p>
If you need further assistance,
feel free to join the
<a href="http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mingw-cross-env-list">project mailing list</a>
where you'll get in touch with
the mingw-cross-env developers

<p>
Detailed installation instructions
for various systems follow.
</p>
<h3>Debian</h3>
<pre>aptitude install -R bash bzip2 g++ make sed openssl \
patch perl scons unzip wget</pre>
<p>
On 64-bit Debian, install also:
</p>
<pre>aptitude install -R g++-multilib</pre>
<h3>FreeBSD</h3>
<pre>pkg_add -r bash gmake gsed perl scons unzip wget</pre>
<p>
On 64-bit FreeBSD,
there are open issues with the NSIS package.
</p>
<h3>Frugalware</h3>
<pre>pacman-g2 -S bash bzip2 gcc make sed openssl \
patch perl scons unzip wget</pre>
<p>
On 64-bit Frugalware,
there are open issues with the NSIS package.
</p>
<h3>MacOS X (≤ 10.5)</h3>
<p>
Install
<a href="http://developer.apple.com/TOOLS/xcode/">Xcode</a>
and
<a href="http://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</a>,
then run:
</p>
<pre>sudo port install gmake gsed scons wget</pre>
<h3>MacOS 10.6</h3>
<p>
Install
<a href="http://developer.apple.com/TOOLS/xcode/">Xcode</a>
and
<a href="http://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</a>,
then run:
</p>
<pre>sudo port install gmake gsed scons wget gcc_select
sudo gcc_select gcc40</pre>
<h3>Open Solaris 2009.06</h3>
<p>
Open Solaris seems to have a problem with Binutils 2.20.
It should work if you
downgrade mingw-cross-env's Binutils to 2.19 by hand.
A good solution needs yet to be found.
</p>
<h3>Solaris</h3>
<p>
First, install all requirements
that already ship with Solaris:
</p>
<pre>pfexec pkg install SUNWgcc SUNWgmake SUNWgsed SUNWgzip \
SUNWlibm SUNWgpch SUNWunzip SUNWwget</pre>
<p>
Then download and install SCons by hand:
</p>
<pre>wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scons/scons-1.2.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf scons-1.2.0.tar.gz
cd scons-1.2.0
pfexec python setup.py install</pre>

</p>
<p>
This release comes with a better look & feel
by providing a highlevel overview of the build process.
</p>
<p>
The detailed build messages are stored into
separate log files for each package,
so parallel builds don't intermix them anymore.
</p>
<p>
The download URLs of SourceForge packages
are adjusted to ensure that
the selected SourceForge mirror is really used
and not circumvalented via HTTP redirects to other mirrors.
</p>
<p>
Almost all packages are updated to their latest version.
</p>
<p>
The whole mingw-cross-env project has moved to
<a href="https://savannah.nongnu.org/">Savannah</a>.
So all URIs have changed,
but the old URIs
redirect to the new locations seamlessly.
