Free COMPILERS and CROSS-COMPILERS for Linux and Windows.

Well since i do not use other langs i didn't tried !

But i will give it a shot just for the sake ..

Cool. And thanks.

I am surprised that only one person has tried the compilations. Compilers are at the heart of one's system.

Maybe add instructions to compile OSG with it - on Win+Linux. Pure compileres are a bit useless.

Would SDL do?

Does anyone know of somewhere else the compilation of the latest GCC is discussed?

Errors when compiling w32api-3.11 (step 2)

I get redefinition errors when compiling w32api-3.11. Any suggestions on how to solve this? Am I the only one to get these errors?

Problem solved

My bad.. forgot to set CC before running configure. That should be added to the guide..

Problem using the crosscompiler in windows

I followed all the steps in the guide and everything seemed to work just fine. After copying the mingw folder to my windows c:\ directory, however, I found that the compiler is unable to locate both headers and libs. Compiling a simple hello world program like this (added paths, else, it fails even earlier):

WindowsCMD: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -IC:\mingw\include -LC:\mingw\lib -o hello main.c

results in:

\mingw\lib\gcc\i686-pc-linux-gnu\4.1.1\..\..\..\..\i686-pc-linux-gnu\bin\ld.exe: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any suggestions?

I have never needed to set CC before running w32api-3.11's configure. Configure usually does this for you.

You have to tell windows gcc exactly where all the libraries (I don't remember if this included the C libraries) are or you get mysterious errors like the one you point out.

Unfortunately my box with the windows partition has died so I cannot check exactly what worked.

I had lots of trouble with paths and libraries.

Finally =)

Could the reason be that I compiled the standard gcc version for debian etch: gcc 4.1.1?

I had to compile glibc and copy the files to the right directories within mingw. Now, it all works! I think this stuff should be added to the guide. I am also rewriting the script a little to make it more generic, and output more info to the user. Are you the author of the guide/script? I'll provide a link when I'm finished..

I had lots of trouble with paths and libraries.

me too, but I got it working in the end =)
