Compiling with the i686-pc-mingw32 cross-g...@samw:<br /><br />Compiling with the i686-pc-mingw32 cross-gcc will provide similar results to compiling within a MinGW environment with their gcc.<br /><br />The difference is, that when doing so from within Cygwin, you are *cross*-compiling. Not all build systems or packages support cross-compiling, so it won't work for everything, but for many packages it is feasible.<br /><br />How to cross-compile in general depends on the package in question, and is beyond the scope of a blog comment. The most common build system is autotools, and that can be as simple as adding "--build=i686-pc-cygwin --host=i686-pc-mingw32" to your configure flags.Yaakovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153587532799483565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047215424426423275.post-35607174639976100002011-04-05T01:29:05.658-07:002011-04-05T01:29:05.658-07:00Wow, wow, wow!
But I'm a real noob, may I ask...Wow, wow, wow!<br /><br />But I'm a real noob, may I ask a question?<br />does the mingw port mean you can compile so that the executable has no (cygwin) dependencies, like in real mingw, (so there is no difference between them)?<br />if yes, how do I do that?<br />I'm sorry for my silly question but I really need to know.<br />thanks again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244745826154961332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047215424426423275.post-56278717135319671492011-03-10T13:45:08.749-08:002011-03-10T13:45:08.749-08:00You are all fantastic, you's that work on Cygp...You are all fantastic, you's that work on Cygports.
