Some Success in Building Xuggler

[scott....@yahoo.com]

I know very little about Linux, c++, make, configure, etc. Therefore,
I'm pretty excited that I was able to get Ubuntu installed along with
this stuff (by running sudo apt-get install):

git
mingw32
ant
jre
jdk
netbeans
yasm
openssl
pkg-config
build-essential
libc6-dev
ia32-libs
g++
multilib
libc6-dev-i386
lib32
zlib

With all of that, I finally got Xuggler to Build Successfully for
Linux. It failed most of the tests, but I was so excited, that I
started on cross-compiling for Windows. However, I'm getting this
error:

windres: command not found

Any ideas? I tried to follow these instructions (with no luck):
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Cross-Compiling_Under_Linux

If anyone is successful, is there a way to see what binary packages
you have installed? Are there specific exports, environment
variables, etc. that need to be set? Any more instructions...please!
I've spent at least 15 hours working this with no luck.

Thanks,
Scott

For some reason mingw32 makes a 'cross-compile' version of all GCC utilities except windres.

To fix, in /usr/bin create a softlink to /usr/bin/windres for each cross compile version.  For example:

ln -s /usr/bin/windres /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres

ln -s /usr/bin/windres /usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-windres

You're my hero art. I was stuck on this for a while.

Would you happen to have any idea why this error might pop up when building for windows from linux?
collect2: ld terminated with signal 6 [Aborted] core dumped

I can't seem to figure it out, but it seems like it's related to mingw32/mingw-w64.
