Title: howto compile amule for windows under linux
Post by: redhad on June 14, 2006, 04:18:04 PM

Hello to everybody,

I'm interesting in compiling amule for windows under linux (if it is possible),

Is there a way to do so?

Hi redhad!

Well, it should be possible using mingw32.

I don't want to compile under windows, because i have a ready to run environment under linux. (gcc, wxgtk....)

There's mingw for Linux as well, at least on my Ubuntu machine there are even precompiled packages for the compiler.

If anybody's thinking about trying the method described in this updated howto http://mingw.org/wiki/LinuxCrossMinGW (http://mingw.org/wiki/LinuxCrossMinGW) beware that the download section of MinGW project page @ sourceforge does not link to the required source code of GCC, only binaries. To get current gcc -3.x.x source tarballs manually before you execute the script you'll have to go directly to a mirror (e.g. http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/ (http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/)). You may as well get current w32api & mingwrt sources while you're there.

Important update
In MinGW32 interactive build script, the default choice (1) of packages to be built downloads a "broken" tarball of binutils. Use this one instead: binutils-2.17.50-20060824-1-src.tar.gz . I had to spend a few hours drilling through mailing lists to figure out what the problem was, but the build finally completed.
