Successful cross-compilation from ArchLinux targetting Windows x64

[Microeinstein]

Hi, I just wanted to inform that I managed to cross-compile from ArchLinux to Windows x64, and I would like the Wiki to be extended of the following information:

Procedure

1. Requirements
   • python
   • audiofile
   • mingw-w64 (meta package)
   • aur/mingw-w64-environment
   • aur/mingw-w64-sdl2
   • aur/mingw-w64-glew
   • (baserom.ver.z64)
2. Hacks
   • make a symlink to libglew32.dll.a as libglew32.a $ sudo ln -s /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libglew32{.dll,}.a
3. Export compiling tools [this technique is specific for your Makefile]
   • $ source mingw-env x86_64-w64-mingw32 (see script)
   • $ export CROSS=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ (keep trailing slash)
4. Compile using favourite options (must use SDL2 for most things)

   $ flags=(
     VERSION=us
     WINDOWS_BUILD=1
     TARGET_BITS=64
     BETTERCAMERA=1
     NODRAWINGDISTANCE=1
     TEXTURE_FIX=1
     EXT_OPTIONS_MENU=1
     DISCORDRPC=1
   )
   $ make "${flags[@]}"

5. Package
   • copy required dlls into build directory $ cp /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/glew32.dll build/us-pc

Full solution

#!/bin/bash
# This script is not meant to be executed directly
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S base-devel git pacman audiofile
aurhelper -S mingw-w64{,-{environment,sdl2,glew}}
wenv=x86_64-w64-mingw32  # must not contain spaces or special characters

sudo ln -s /usr/$wenv/lib/libglew32{.dll,}.a

git clone -b nightly --single-branch https://github.com/sm64pc/sm64ex.git
cd sm64ex
git apply "enhancements/60fps_ex.patch" --ignore-whitespace --reject
ver=us
cp somewhere/baserom.$ver.z64 .

source mingw-env $wenv
export CROSS=/usr/$wenv/bin/
flags=(
  VERSION=$ver
  WINDOWS_BUILD=1
  TARGET_BITS=64
  BETTERCAMERA=1
  NODRAWINGDISTANCE=1
  TEXTURE_FIX=1
  EXT_OPTIONS_MENU=1
  DISCORDRPC=1
)
make "${flags[@]}"

cd build/$ver-pc
cp /usr/$wenv/bin/glew32.dll .

Thanks for the information. I'll close this, people will be able to find it in closed issues if they need to.
