MXE (M cross environment) is a GNU Makefile that
|
|
|
compiles a cross compiler and cross compiles
|
|
|
many free libraries such as SDL and Qt. Thus,
|
|
|
it provides a nice cross compiling environment
|
|
|
for various target platforms, which

How to choose MXE target:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
<li>If you want a 64 bit Windows executable,
|
|
|
statically linked into one big executable:
|
|
|
use MXE_TARGETS x86_64-w64-mingw32.static;</li>
|
|
|
<li>If you want a 64 bit Windows executable,
|
|
|
split into an executable and dependant dlls
|
|
|
use MXE_TARGETS x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared;</li>
|
|
|
<li>If you want a 32 bit Windows executable,
|
|
|
statically linked into one big executable:
|
|
|
use MXE_TARGETS i686-w64-mingw32.static;</li>
|
|
|
<li>If you want a 32 bit Windows executable,
|
|
|
split into an executable and dependant dlls
|
|
|
use MXE_TARGETS i686-w64-mingw32.shared.</li>
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Remark: The 'w64-mingw32' in those names are left-overs from
|
|
|
historical evolutions in the open source cross-compilation world
|
|
|
and refer in no way to the result being 64 or 32 bit Windows.

|
<h3 id="tutorial-1">Step 1: Requirements and Download</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
First, you should ensure that your system meets
|
|
|
MXE's
|
|
|
<a href="#requirements">requirements</a>.
|
|
|
You will almost certainly have to install some stuff.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
When everything is fine, download the
|
|
|
<a href="#download">current version</a>:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you don't mind installing it in your home directory,
|
|
|
just skip the following step and go straight to step 3.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
MXE builds and installs everything under the same
|
|
|
top-level directory and is not relocatable after
|
|
|
the first packages are built.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Due to limitations of GNU Make, the path of MXE is not allowed
|
|
|
to contain any whitespace characters.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="tutorial-2">Step 2: System-wide Installation (optional)</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Now you should save any previous installation
|
|
|
of the MXE.
|
|
|
Assuming you've installed it under
|
|
|
/opt/mxe (any other directory will do as well),
|
|
|
you should execute the following commands:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>su
|
|
|
mv /opt/mxe /opt/mxe.old
|
|
|
exit</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Then you need to transfer the entire directory to its definitive location.
|
|
|
We will assume again you use /opt/mxe,
|
|
|
but feel free to use any other directory if you like.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>su
|
|
|
mv mxe /opt/mxe
|
|
|
exit</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
We're almost done.
|
|
|
Just change to your newly created directory and get going:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>cd /opt/mxe</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="tutorial-3">Step 3a: Build MXE</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Enter the directory where you've downloaded MXE.
|
|
|
Now it depends on what you actually want – or need.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you choose to enter:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>make</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
you're in for a long wait,
|
|
|
because it compiles
|
|
|
<a href="#packages">a lot of packages</a>.
|
|
|
On the other hand it doesn't require any intervention,
|
|
|
so you're free to do whatever you like
|
|
|
– like watch a movie or go for a night on the town.
|
|
|
When it's done you'll find that you've installed
|
|
|
a very capable Win32 cross compiler onto your system.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you only need the most basic tools you can also use:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>make cc</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
and add any additional packages you need later on.
|
|
|
You can also supply a host of packages on the
|
|
|
<a href="#usage">command line</a>,
|
|
|
e.g.:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>make gtk lua libidn</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Targets can also be specified on the command line.
|
|
|
By default, only i686-w64-mingw32.static is built, but you can
|
|
|
build your toolchain(s) of choice with:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>make MXE_TARGETS='x86_64-w64-mingw32.static i686-w64-mingw32.static'</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
or by adjusting the <code>MXE_TARGETS</code> variable
|
|
|
in <code>settings.mk</code>.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
You'll always end up with a consistent cross compiling environment.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you have trouble here, please feel free to
|
|
|
contact the mxe team through the
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues">issue tracker</a> or
|
|
|
<a href="https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mingw-cross-env-list">mailing list</a>.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
After you're done it just needs a little post-installation.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="tutorial-3b">Step 3b: Install MXE from the binary distribution</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Instead of building MXE packages from source, you can
|
|
|
download precompiled packages. There are two options:
|
|
|
tar archives and Debian packages.
|
|
|
See <a href="https://pkg.mxe.cc/">pkg.mxe.cc</a>.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="tutorial-4">Step 4: Environment Variables</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Edit your .bashrc script in order to change $PATH:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>export PATH=/<em>where MXE is installed</em>/usr/bin:$PATH</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
You may be tempted to also add <code>$(TARGET)/bin</code>
|
|
|
to your path. You <strong>never</strong> want to do this,
|
|
|
the executables and scripts in there will cause conflicts
|
|
|
with your native toolchain.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
In case you are using custom $PKG_CONFIG_PATH entries,
|
|
|
you can add separate entries for cross builds:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="<em>entries for native builds</em>"</pre>
|
|
|
<pre>export PKG_CONFIG_PATH_i686_w64_mingw32_static="<em>entries for MXE builds</em>"</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Remember to use i686-w64-mingw32.static-pkg-config
|
|
|
instead of pkg-config for cross builds.
|
|
|
The Autotools do that automatically for you.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Note that any other compiler related environment variables
|
|
|
(like $CC, $LDFLAGS, etc.)
|
|
|
may spoil your compiling pleasure,
|
|
|
so be sure to delete or disable those.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
For the most isolated and repeatable environment,
|
|
|
use a white-list approach:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>unset `env | \
|
|
|
grep -vi '^EDITOR=\|^HOME=\|^LANG=\|MXE\|^PATH=' | \
|
|
|
grep -vi 'PKG_CONFIG\|PROXY\|^PS1=\|^TERM=' | \
|
|
|
cut -d '=' -f1 | tr '\n' ' '`</pre>
|
|
|
<!-- update mxe-activate also -->
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Congratulations!
|
|
|
You're ready to cross compile anything you like.
|
|
|

<h3 id="tutorial-5a">Step 5a: Cross compile your Project (Autotools)</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you use the
|
|
|
<a href="https://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html">Autotools</a>,
|
|
|
all you have to do is:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32.static
|
|
|
make</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you build a library, you might also want to enforce a static build:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32.static --enable-static --disable-shared
|
|
|
make</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Don't worry about a warning like this:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
|
|
|
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.</pre>
|
|

Everything will be just fine.

<h3 id="tutorial-5c">Step 5c: Cross compile your Project (Qt)</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you have a
|
|
|
<a href="https://qt-project.org/">Qt</a> application,
|
|
|
all you have to do is:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>/where MXE is installed/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/qt/bin/qmake
|
|
|
make</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Note that Qt 4 is in the "qt" subdirectory. Qt 5 is in the "qt5" subdirectory
|
|
|
and its qmake can be invoked similarly.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you are using Qt plugins
|
|
|
such as the svg or ico image handlers,
|
|
|
you should also have a look at the
|
|
|
<a href="https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/plugins-howto.html#static-plugins">Qt documentation about static plugins</a>.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Qt 4 only: Sql drivers (-qt-sql-*) and image handlers for jpeg, tiff, gif and mng are built-in, <em>not</em> plugins.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="tutorial-5d">Step 5d: Cross compile your Project (Makefile)</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you have a handwritten Makefile,
|
|
|
you probably will have to make a few adjustments to it:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>CC=$(CROSS)gcc
|
|
|
LD=$(CROSS)ld
|
|
|
AR=$(CROSS)ar
|
|
|
PKG_CONFIG=$(CROSS)pkg-config</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
You may have to add a few others, depending on your project.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Then, all you have to do is:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>make CROSS=i686-w64-mingw32.static-</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
That's it!
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="tutorial-5e">Step 5e: Cross compile your Project (OSG)</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Using static OpenSceneGraph libraries requires a few changes to your source.
|
|
|
The graphics subsystem and all plugins required by your application must be
|
|
|
referenced explicitly. Use a code block like the following:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>#ifdef OSG_LIBRARY_STATIC
|
|
|
USE_GRAPHICSWINDOW()
|
|
|
USE_OSGPLUGIN(<plugin1>)
|
|
|
USE_OSGPLUGIN(<plugin2>)
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
#endif</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Look at <code>examples/osgstaticviewer/osgstaticviewer.cpp</code> in the
|
|
|
OpenSceneGraph source distribution for an example. This example can be
|
|
|
compiled with the following command:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>i686-w64-mingw32.static-g++ \
|
|
|
-o osgstaticviewer.exe examples/osgstaticviewer/osgstaticviewer.cpp \
|
|
|
`i686-w64-mingw32.static-pkg-config --cflags openscenegraph-osgViewer openscenegraph-osgPlugins` \
|
|
|
`i686-w64-mingw32.static-pkg-config --libs openscenegraph-osgViewer openscenegraph-osgPlugins`</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
The <code>i686-w64-mingw32.static-pkg-config</code> command from MXE will
|
|
|
automatically add <code>-DOSG_LIBRARY_STATIC</code> to your compiler flags.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|

MXE requires a recent Unix system where
|
|
|
all components as stated in the table below
|
|
|
are installed. It also needs roughly 2 GiB of
|
|
|
RAM to link gcc and at least 700 MB of disk
|
|
|
space per target (counted with only gcc
|
|
|
built).

32-bit systems

|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/1381#issuecomment-225459494">

|
|
<h3 id="issue-non-multilib">Issues without a 32-bit compiler</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Certain packages contain native tools that are
|
|
|
currently 32-bit only. In order to build these on a
|
|
|
64-bit system, multi-lib support must be enabled in the
|
|
|
compiler toolchain. However, not all operating systems
|
|
|
support this.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
To build the remainder of MXE, specify the affected
|
|
|
packages to exclude:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>make EXCLUDE_PKGS='ocaml%'</pre>

<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
|
|
|
|

|
<p>
|
|
|
All build commands also download the packages if necessary.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
In a BSD userland, substitute "make" with "gmake"
|

that is really used by one of your applications. Please also review our

<a href="#legal">legal notes</a>.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
BTW, we're always curious about the applications people are porting.
|
|
|
We maintain a
|
|
|
<a href="#used-by">list of projects</a>
|
|
|
which use MXE.
|
|
|
No matter whether your project is free or proprietary
|
|
|
– as long as it has its own website,
|
|
|
we'd be happy to link to it.
|

Grep through the <code>src/*.mk</code> files
|
|
|
to find a project that is most similar to yours.
|
|
|
(Really, <code>grep</code> is your friend here.)
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
For instance,
|
|
|
when adding a GNU library,
|
|
|
you should take a package like
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/gettext.mk">gettext.mk</a>
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/libiconv.mk">libiconv.mk</a>
|
|
|
as the base of your work.
|
|
|
When using a SourceForge project,
|
|
|
you could start with a copy of
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/xmlwrapp.mk">xmlwrapp.mk</a>.
|
|
|
And so on.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
GitHub hosted projects can automatically configure updates,
|
|
|
urls, file names etc. by setting <code>$(PKG)_GH_CONF</code>
|
|
|
instead of <code>$(PKG)_FILE, $(PKG)_SUBDIR, $(PKG)_URL, and
|
|
|
$(PKG)_UPDATE</code> sections.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
To track releases set:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>$(PKG)_GH_CONF := owner/repo/releases[/latest][, tag prefix, tag suffix, tag filter-out, version separator]</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Releases may require setting _FILE, _SUBDIR, _URL, depending on
|
|
|
the naming convention used by the project for tarballs.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
To track tags set:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>$(PKG)_GH_CONF := owner/repo/tags[, tag prefix, tag suffix, tag filter-out, version separator]</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
To track branches, set:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>$(PKG)_GH_CONF := owner/repo/branches/<branch name></pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|

See the following packages for examples:
|
|
|

|
|
<ul>

|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/gc.mk">gc.mk</a>
|
|
|
for release tracking with non-standard file name
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/yaml-cpp.mk">yaml-cpp.mk</a>
|
|
|
for release tracking with standard file name
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/vmime.mk">vmime.mk</a>
|
|
|
for branch tracking
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/libevent.mk">libevent.mk</a>
|
|
|
for tag tracking
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/libffi.mk">libffi.mk</a>
|
|
|
for externally hosted tarballs with generated sources not
|
|
|
present in source tree
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
The <a href="gmsl.html">GNU Make Standard Library</a> is also
|
|
|
available (though it should be unnecessary for most packages).
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Alternatively you can use tool <code>tools/skeleton.py</code> to
|
|
|
create a skeleton of new MXE package. It fills most of the fields
|
|
|
of <code>.mk</code> file automatically and supports typical
|
|
|
build scenarios through option <code>--builder</code>. It also
|
|
|
adds a package to the <a href="#packages">list of packages</a>
|
|
|
(see below).
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Adjust the comments,
|
|
|
fill in the <code>$(PKG)_*</code> fields.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
To fill the <code>$(PKG)_CHECKSUM</code> field, use a command such as (for file gettext.mk):
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>make update-checksum-gettext</pre>
|
|
|
<p>or:</p>
|
|
|
<pre>openssl sha256 pkg/gettext-x.y.z.tar.gz</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
if you have already downloaded the package.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Be especially careful with the <code>$(PKG)_DEPS</code> section.
|
|
|
The easiest way to get the dependencies right
|
|
|
is to start with a minimal setup.
|
|
|
That is,
|
|
|
initialize MXE with <code>make cc</code> only,
|
|
|
then check whether your package builds successfully.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Always list the dependency on <code>cc</code> explicitly:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>$(PKG)_DEPS := cc ...</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Specify official name and website of a package.
|
|
|
If the official name coincides with the package name,
|
|
|
you can omit <code>$(PKG)_DESCR</code>.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
PKG := libdvdetect
|
|
|
$(PKG)_WEBSITE := https://www.dvdetect.de/
|
|
|
$(PKG)_DESCR := Fast database lookup for DVDs</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Always look for the SSL version of URLs, that is,
|
|
|
prefer <code>https://</code> URLs over <code>http://</code> URLs.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Write your <code>$(PKG)_BUILD</code>.
|
|
|
If your library has a <code>./configure</code> script,
|
|
|
enable/disable all dependency libraries explicitly
|
|
|
via "<code>--enable-*</code>" and "<code>--disable-*</code>" options.
|

Things not to do:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<b>do not run target executables with Wine</b>, as Wine is
|
|
|
not guaranteed to be installed. Instead build the needed tool
|
|
|
natively or (if it is too huge to build one more time) add
|
|
|
to MXE's dependencies. This policy is forced by setting
|
|
|
WINEPREFIX to an empty directory, which breaks Wine;
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<b>do not download anything while building</b>, as all files
|
|
|
downloaded should be verified by checksums. Instead create a
|
|
|
package which installs the needed file. This policy is forced
|
|
|
on Linux by <a href="https://github.com/starius/nonetwork/"
|
|
|
>LD_PRELOAD trick</a>, breaking network functions.
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Useful Makefile variables provided by MXE:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
<code>$(SOURCE_DIR)</code>
|
|
|
is a directory with package source and
|
|
|
<code>$(BUILD_DIR)</code>
|
|
|
is an empty directory intended for build files.
|
|
|
Both directories are temporary.
|
|
|
Prefer out-of-tree builds. Autotools
|
|
|
and CMake support them.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
<code>$(PREFIX)</code>
|
|
|
is path to <code>usr/</code> directory.
|
|
|
<code>$(TOP_DIR)</code>
|
|
|
is path to MXE root directory.
|
|
|
<code>$(TARGET)</code> is target triplet
|
|
|
(e.g., <code>i686-w64-mingw32.static</code>).
|
|
|
<code>$(BUILD)</code> is build triplet
|
|
|
(e.g., <code>x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu</code>).
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
<code>$(MXE_CONFIGURE_OPTS)</code>
|
|
|
adds standard options to <code>./configure</code> script.
|
|
|
Typical usage:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
cd '$(BUILD_DIR)' && '$(SOURCE_DIR)'/configure \
|
|
|
$(MXE_CONFIGURE_OPTS)
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
<code>$(MXE_DISABLE_CRUFT)</code>
|
|
|
disables installation of documentation and programs.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
$(MAKE) -C '$(BUILD_DIR)' -j '$(JOBS)' $(MXE_DISABLE_CRUFT)
|
|
|
$(MAKE) -C '$(BUILD_DIR)' -j 1 install $(MXE_DISABLE_CRUFT)
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
<code>$(BUILD_SHARED)</code>
|
|
|
is TRUE for shared targets. Useful to add flags applicable
|
|
|
only to shared targets.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
$(if $(BUILD_SHARED),LDFLAGS=-no-undefined)
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Similarly,
|
|
|
<code>$(BUILD_STATIC)</code>
|
|
|
is TRUE for static targets;
|
|
|
<code>$(BUILD_NATIVE)</code>
|
|
|
is TRUE for native targets;
|
|
|
<code>$(BUILD_CROSS)</code>
|
|
|
is TRUE for cross targets.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
</ul>
|

|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
You might also have to provide a patch for it.
|
|
|
In that case, have a look at other patches such as
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/sdl2-2-libtool.patch">sdl2-2-libtool.patch</a>.
|
|
|
In particular, each patch file should be named as:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>PACKAGE-PATCHNUMBER-DESCRIPTION.patch</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
and should start with:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>This file is part of MXE. See LICENSE.md for licensing information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This patch has been taken from:
|
|
|
https://...</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
where the URL points to the
|
|
|
bugtracker entry,
|
|
|
mailing list entry or
|
|
|
website
|
|
|
you took the patch from.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you created the patch yourself,
|
|
|
please offer it to the upstream project first,
|
|
|
and point to <em>that</em> URL,
|
|
|
using the same wording:
|
|
|
"This patch has been taken from:".
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Depending on the feedback you get from the upstream project,
|
|
|
you might want to improve your patch.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
If you find some time,
|
|
|
please provide a minimal test program for it.
|
|
|
It should be
|
|
|
simple,
|
|
|
stand alone and
|
|
|
should work unmodified for many (all?) future versions of the library.
|
|
|
Test programs are named as:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>PACKAGE-test.c</pre>
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
<pre>PACKAGE-test.cpp</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
depending on whether it is a C or C++ library.
|
|
|
To get a clue,
|
|
|
please have a look at existing test programs such as
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/sdl-test.c">sdl-test.c</a>.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
At the very end of your <code>*.mk</code> file
|
|
|
you should build the test program in a generic way,
|
|
|
using strict compiler flags.
|
|
|
The last few lines of
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/sdl.mk">sdl.mk</a>
|
|
|
will give you a clue.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
You could also try to provide a <code>$(PKG)_UPDATE</code> section.
|
|
|
However, that requires some experience and "feeling" for it.
|
|
|
So it is perfectly okay if you leave a placeholder:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>define $(PKG)_UPDATE
|
|
|
echo 'TODO: write update script for $(PKG).' >&2;
|
|
|
echo $($(PKG)_VERSION)
|
|
|
endef</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
We'll fill that in for you.
|
|
|
It's a funny exercise.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Check that you don't have "dirty stuff" in your <code>*.mk</code> files,
|
|
|
such as TAB characters or trailing spaces at lines endings. Run:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>make cleanup-style</pre>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
to remove these.
|
|
|
Have a look at random <code>*.mk</code> files
|
|
|
to get a feeling for the coding style.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
The same holds for your test program.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
However, patch files should always appear
|
|
|
in the same coding style as the files they are patching.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
When patching sources with crlf line endings, the patch
|
|
|
file itself should also have the same eol style. Use the
|
|
|
convention of naming the file as <code>*crlf.patch</code>
|

<h3>Disclaimer - it's all code...</h3>
|

<p>

Modern legal systems are like any other large, complex, and evolving body

They have their own language with quirky parsers, compilers, and
|
|
|
interpreters (though these tend to be human). Their issue trackers are
|
|
|
a backlog of court cases. They have bugs. They have traps for the
|
|
|
uninitiated that may potentially do more than waste your time.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|

|
We currently limit ourselves to:

|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>--enable-languages='c,c++,objc,fortran'</pre>
|
|
|
<p>

legal advice. :-)

<h3 id="other-legal-considerations">Other Considerations</h3>
|

|
|
|
In addition to the usual considerations (copyrights, patents,
|
|
|
trademarks, export regulations etc.), building
|

libraries

|
|
<a href="https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/mingw-cross-env-list/2011-02/msg00018.html">for Windows</a>
|
|
|
exposes some edge cases that you may not have encountered before.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
According to
|
|
|
<a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">freedom 0</a> and our
|
|
|
<a href="#copyright">own licence</a>,
|
|
|
you can use mxe in countless different
|
|
|
environments, each with it's own special legal considerations. The
|
|
|
configuration options of certain packages (e.g ffmpeg) allow the use of
|
|
|
non-free software and/or combinations that cause license violations.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
For these packages, we will provide sensible defaults aimed
|
|
|
at achieving the following goals:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
<li>avoid causing inherent licensing issues with conflicting options</li>
|
|
|
<li>make the package as feature complete as possible</li>
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Note that this does not prevent downstream violations, or affect any
|
|
|
further obligations a licence may impose on you.

<h4>GPL and OpenSSL</h4>

Since August 2015, there is an

<dt>2015-05-04 – Retired the stable branch</dt>

|
The stable branch
|
|
|
<a href="https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/mingw-cross-env-list/2015-05/msg00004.html">was retired</a>
|
|
|
as it
|
|
|
<a href="https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/mingw-cross-env-list/2015-03/msg00002.html">did more harm than good</a>.
|
|
|
Everybody is using the master branch,
|
|
|
because it is always recent and well enough tested.
|
|
|
For historical reference, the last commit to the stable branch was
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commits/0c6cc9c91cf94e445ec471a5beebb7199483cb9d" title="0c6cc9c91cf94e445ec471a5beebb7199483cb9d">0c6cc9c</a>,
|
|
|
which was
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commits/eaac1a873f37bdc4f91e1b649e28b118acedc436" title="eaac1a873f37bdc4f91e1b649e28b118acedc436">fully merged into master</a>
|
|
|
as usual.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Added support for <a href="#supported-toolchains">shared toolchains</a> for over 50% of all the packages.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Unfortunately, a number of factors have forced us to drop support
|
|
|
for MinGW 3 (i.e. "<a href="http://mingw.org/">MinGW.org</a>"),
|
|
|
in favor of the MinGW-w64 toolchain. This decision was made in a
|
|
|
large part because of the dropping of support for MinGW by <a
|
|
|
href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/pull/453#issuecomment-51703048">
|
|
|
GLib</a> and <a
|
|
|
href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/492#issue-41366666">Qt5</a>,
|
|
|
which arguably are two of the most important packages in MXE.
|
|
|
Other considerations have also been taken, like the <a
|
|
|
href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/pull/323#issuecomment-39463810">lack
|
|
|
of maintainership in MinGW</a> and <a
|
|
|
href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/400">potential legal
|
|
|
challenges</a> that comes with using supplemental DirectX
|
|
|
headers in MinGW in order to support Qt4. Worse yet, having to
|
|
|
support the unsupported MinGW toolchain impedes adding or
|
|
|
updating packages, as shown in the <a
|
|
|
href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/pull/453#issuecomment-51703048">pull
|
|
|
request of updating GLib</a>.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Please note that dropping support for MinGW <strong>DOES NOT
|
|
|
MEAN</strong> dropping support for the 32-bit architecture. MinGW-w64
|
|
|
also supports 32-bit target through i686-w64-mingw32.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
To ease migration to the supported MinGW-w64 target, we have
|
|
|
finished porting all packages that were MinGW-only to at least
|
|
|
i686-w64-mingw32 (32-bit target of MinGW-w64). Hence your existing
|
|
|
commands should work out-of-the-box assuming the
|
|
|
<code>MXE_TARGETS</code> environment variable is set correctly.

|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
The stable branch was updated
|
|
|
to the current development version after a thorough
|
|
|
<a href="https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/mingw-cross-env-list/2013-07/msg00021.html">testing phase</a>.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Current users are <strong>strongly</strong> encouraged to
|
|
|
start with a clean tree as the toolchain has been
|
|
|
updated and requires a full rebuild:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<pre>git pull && make clean && make</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Most packages were updated to their latest version.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Many new packages are supported:
|

wget, winpthreads, xapian-core, yasm
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Added support for <a href="#supported-toolchains">mingw-w64 based toolchains</a>
|
|
|
targeting 32 & 64-bit architectures.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
With the addition of Qt5, there is no longer a prefixed version of
|
|
|
qmake, see the <a href="#tutorial-5c">Qt section of the tutorial</a>
|
|
|
for the new way to invoke qmake.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
<a href="#requirements-freebsd">FreeBSD</a> is no longer fully supported.
|
|
|
Qt5, ocaml*, and 8 other packages are excluded from the build.

The release tarballs have been replaced with a stable branch
|
|
|
that conforms to the new branch concept:
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul class="compact-list">
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
Any change of a build script goes into "master".
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
Any package upgrade goes into "master".
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
Any documentation upgrade that refers to a feature
|
|
|
not present in stable goes into "master".
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
Anything else that doesn't affect the build goes
|
|
|
into "stable".
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
Any non-critical improvement to the main Makefile
|
|
|
goes into "stable".
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
Any improvement in the package download URLs or
|
|
|
package version recognition goes into "stable".
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
When in doubt, "master" is used rather than "stable".
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
Every change to the "stable" branch
|
|
|
will be merged into "master".
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
After a successful testing phase,
|
|
|
the "stable" branch
|
|
|
will be fast-forwarded to "master".

This release
|
|
|
provides an improved version recognition
|
|
|
for SourceForge packages.
|
|
|
SourceForge changed their page layout
|
|
|
in a way that makes it much harder
|
|
|
to identify the current version of a package.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Additionally,
|
|
|
almost all packages are updated to their latest version.

The Makefile has a new target "clean-pkg"

|
|
via "make -f .../Makefile".
|

|
</p>

<p>

Some new versions of the packages are supported,

This release now includes a tutorial by Hans Bezemer
|
|
|
and has improved compile options of FLTK.
|
|
|
As usual, it supports some newer versions of the libraries.
|

<p>

|

At the <a href="https://www.fefe.de/nowindows/">request of its author</a>,
|
|
|
libowfat is no longer supported from this release on.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
The script now uses a specific SourceForge mirror
|
|
|
instead of randomly chosen ones,
|
|
|
because the download phase
|
|
|
often stumbled on some very slow mirrors.
