                    MinGW cross compiling environment

   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. All necessary source packages
   are downloaded automatically.

   The Makefile is designed to run on any Unix system.

   2009-04-06 - Release 2.5
          Download | Changelog

          This release fixes a download error caused by the MinGW
          project. They suddenly changed the names of their source
          tarballs. That sort of thing should never happen!

          This release also contains some bugfixes which allow it to
          run on a wider range of systems.

          All downloaded files are now verified by their SHA-1
          checksums.

          New versions of various packages are supported.

Tutorials

     * (outdated) Win32 Cross Compiling Tutorial by Hans Bezemer

For Developers

     * Web Repository
     * Install Mercurial and run:
hg clone http://www.profv.de/mingw_cross_env/hgweb.cgi mingw_cross_env

Features

     * easy to adapt and to extend
     * builds many free libraries in addition to the cross compiler
     * can also build just a subset of the packages, and
       automatically builds their dependencies
     * downloads all needed packages and verifies them by their
       checksums
     * is able to update the version numbers of all packages
       automatically
     * directly uses source packages, thus ensuring the whole build
       mechanism is transparent
     * allows inter-package and intra-package parallel builds
       whenever possible
     * creates libraries to be linked statically, no DLL hell

Prerequisites

   Linux
          Install GCC and GNU Make (>= 3.81), everything else is
          usually already there.

   Minimal Debian
          Create a minimal Debian system with debootstrap, then run:

aptitude install -R g++ make openssl unzip bzip2 patch

   FreeBSD

pkg_add -r bash gmake gsed wget unzip perl

   MacOS X
          Install Xcode and MacPorts, then run:

sudo port install gmake gsed wget

Usage

   make
          build all packages, non-parallel

   make foo bar
          build packages "foo", "bar" and their dependencies,
          non-parallel

   make foo bar -j 4 JOBS=2
          build packages "foo", "bar" and their dependencies, where
          up to 4 packages are build in parallel, each with up to 2
          compiler processes running in parallel

   make strip
          strip all package builds and remove unnecessary files

   make clean
          remove all package builds - use with caution!

   make clean-pkg
          remove all unused package files, handy after a successful
          "make update"

   make update
          update the version numbers of all packages, download the
          new versions and note their checksums - use with caution!

   make dist
          build a source distribution tarball

History

   2009-03-08 - Release 2.4
          Download | Changelog

          This release provides many new libraries such as
          wxWidgets, GTK+ and OpenEXR.

          In addition, new versions of various packages are
          supported.

   2009-02-09 - Release 2.3
          Download | Changelog

          This release fixes some serious build problems on FreeBSD
          and MacOS-X.

          The Makefile has a new target "clean-pkg" and allows to be
          called from a separate build directory via "make -f
          .../Makefile".

          Some new versions of the packages are supported,
          especially GCC-4.3 by switching from MinGW GCC to TDM-GCC.

   2009-01-31 - Release 2.2
          Download | Changelog

          This release fixes some minor build problems.

          It also supports some new packages and some newer versions
          of the already supported packages.

          Parallelization is now disabled by default.

   2008-12-13 - Release 2.1
          Download | Changelog

          This release fixes a download error caused by the GDAL
          project. They suddenly changed their download URLs. That
          sort of thing should never happen!

          In addition, some newer versions of various packages are
          supported.

          There is also a small compatibility fix for OS X.

   2008-11-10 - Release 2.0
          Download | Changelog

          The shell script has been rewritten as Makefile and
          supports partial builds and parallel builds.

          As usual, this release also supports some new packages and
          some newer versions of the already supported packages.

   2008-01-11 - Release 1.4
          Download | Changelog

          This release now includes a tutorial by Hans Bezemer and
          has improved compile options of FLTK. As usual, it
          supports some newer versions of the libraries.

          At the request of its author, libowfat is no longer
          supported from this release on.

          The script now uses a specific SourceForge mirror instead
          of randomly chosen ones, because the download phase often
          stumbled on some very slow mirrors.

   2007-12-23 - Release 1.3
          Download | Changelog

          A sudden change in the download URLs of GEOS made the
          automatic download fail. Such changes should never happen!
          But it happened, and this quick release is an attempt to
          limit the damage.

          This release also supports some newer versions of the
          libraries including support for fontconfig-2.5.0.

   2007-12-13 - Release 1.2
          Download | Changelog

          This release is a switch from gcc-3 to gcc-4. It also
          supports a new library and some newer versions of the
          already supported libraries.

   2007-07-24 - Release 1.1
          Download | Changelog

          This release is the result of the public attention the
          release 1.0 got. It contains many improvements suggested
          by its first users, and adds support for many new
          libraries.

          Thanks to Rocco Rutte who contributed many code snippets.

   2007-06-19 - Release 1.0
          Download | Changelog

          This first release has been created in a 7-day-sprint.
