Free COMPILERS and CROSS-COMPILERS for Linux and Windows.

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

Could be. The configure script for 4.1.1 may be sub-par.

I had to compile glibc and copy the files to the right directories within mingw.

I am interested in whether you built glibc, static or shared?

Can you outline what you did in building glibc?

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.

That's great. Looking forward to seeing your work.

I had to compile glibc...

What did you need glibc for?

Hi Bagera. Are you still working on the project?

Hi Bagera,... say hello if you are still around.

Guess he's not around,....

Do you think that Bagera ever intended to do anything (at all) or his entire offer of help was bogus?

Hi! I've been recently working on a 64-bit Linux hosted, Mingw32 targeted cross compiler and your article has helped TREMENDOUSLY!

Have you tried building one using w32api-3.13? I'm getting a strange assembler error that I didn't get when I used w32api-3.12, previously.

I'll post the error here if I can recreate it.

Peace...

My problem with w32api-3.13 turned out to be user error.

I've got everything working up until the point of building the C,C++,java cross compiler.

For some bizarre reason, when libjava is being built, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcj is invoked to link ecj.exe (or something like that) and I'm not sure why.

I'll recreate the build problem and will post the output here.

Peace...

It looks like just needed to have a native gcj compiler installed and making a symlink to it called "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcj" enabled my C,C++,Java cross compiler to build and run.

Thanks for writing the great article!

Yeah. ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/ecj-latest.jar provides you with the Eclipse Java compiler.

Thanks for writing the great article!

Peace...

Glad it was of help.
