Ability to cross-compile #321

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
mintty should be cross-compileable :-)

Depends on how much work it is. How are you trying to build it, and how does it 
fail?

I've installed a mingw-w64 cross compiler on my linux-system. But there is no 
way of telling make to use a different toolchain (my gcc is called 
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc for instance)

It's not going to work with a MinGW compiler, because mintty very much depens 
on POSIX features provided by Cygwin (or MSYS) that aren't available natively 
on Windows. If you did have a Cygwin cross compiler installed, this might work:

make cc=i686-pc-cygwin-gcc

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to do that?
