Manual for cross-compiling a C++ application from Linux to Windows?

Question

Is there a manual for cross-compiling a C++ application from Linux to Windows?

Just that. I would like some information (links, reference, examples...) to guide me t

Answer 1

I suggest you give the following, GUB (Grand Unified Builder) a try as it cross-compiles several packages with their dependencies and assembles them into a single installation package for currently 11 architectures. You can download a prebuilt iso for installation in a VM from here and follow the source here. It can currently be used to cross-compile GNU LilyPond/ GNU Denemo / Inkscape and OpenOffice.org.

The target architectures are:

• darwin-ppc - tar.bz2 file for Darwin 7 (MacOS 10.3)/PowerPC
• darwin-x86 - tar.bz2 file for Darwin 8 (MacOS 10.4)/x86
• mingw - mingw executable for Windows32
• linux-x86 - shar archive for Linux/x86
• linux-64 - shar archive for Linux/x86_64
• linux-ppc - shar archive for Linux/PowerPC
• freebsd-x86 - shar archive for FreeBSD 4/x86
• freebsd-64 - shar archive for FreeBSD 6/x86_64
• cygwin - .tar.bz2 packages for Cygwin/Windows32
• arm - shar archive for Linux/ARM (largely untested)
• debian - shar archive for Debian (largely untested)
