Is is possible to build Avian native Windows executables within Linux environment?

[Nikolay Artamonov]

Hi guys!

It seems that building Avian for Windows is hard job. Especially in the light of last events when MSYS support was declared as deprecated.

I look for simple way to build native Windows avian executables, can I do it within linux environment with help of some cross-compiling? Has anybody tried this way?

Thanks!

Hi Nikolay,

Yes, you can do it with Linux using Mingw-w64. On Debian or Ubuntu,
you should install the following packages (assuming you already have
the JDK, make, etc. installed):

sudo apt-get install mingw-w64 gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64
g++-mingw-w64-i686 binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64 zlib1g-dev
g++-mingw-w64-x86-64

Then run e.g. "make platform=windows arch=x86_64". Let us know if you
have any problems

By the way, is there a specific reason Cygwin won't work for you?
