modifications, this should work in Windows if you've got the cygnus
utilities (bash, GNU make, etc) and either mingw32 or cygwin32 installed.

+Of course, you can also build the library using plain makefiles (see
+section I).
IV) Unix using configure
----------------------------------------
To cross compile the windows library, do
-> cd win32
+Now run configure. There are two ways to do this
+-> ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --build=i586-linux --with-mingw \
+ --enable-dnd=no
+where --build= should read whatever platform you're building on. Configure
+will notice that build and host platforms differ, and automatically prepend
+i586-mingw32- to gcc, ar, ld, etc (make sure they're in the PATH!).
+The other way to run configure is by specifying the names of the binaries
+yourself:
-> CC=i586-mingw32-gcc CXX=i586-mingw32-g++ RANLIB=i586-mingw32-ranlib \
DLLTOOL=i586-mingw32-dlltool LD=i586-mingw32-ld NM=i586-mingw32-nm \
../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --with-mingw --enable-dnd=no
-(assuming you're using mingw32)
-
-The important thing to notice here is that we suply configure with the names
-of all the non-default binutils (make sure they're in the PATH!), and that
-we tell configure to build for the host platform i586-mingw32.
+(all assuming you're using mingw32)
Drag'n'drop is disabled because mingw32 lacks (AFAIK) OLE headers.
Configure will conclude that shared libraries are out of the question and
opt for a static one. I haven't looked into DLL creation yet.
-When configure is finished, examine setup.h in the win32 directory. Search for
-wxUSE_DYNLIB_CLASS, it will be defined twice. Remove the second define (0).
-If your cross-compiler is egcs-based, you might want to add #define __EGCS__
-in setup.h (only used by common/timercmn.cpp).
-
Type
-> make -C src
and wait, wait, wait. Don't leave the room, because the minute you do there
Cross-compiling TODO:
---------------------
- resource compiling must be done manually for now (should/can we link the
-default wx resources into libwx_msw.a?)
+default wx resources into libwx_msw.a?) [ No we can't; the linker won't
+link it in... you have to supply an object file ]
- dynamic libraries
- static executables are HUGE -- there must be room for improvement.
-- wxUSE_DYNLIB_CLASS double def is probably a bug in configure.in
-- figure out a clean way to determine we're building with configure
-- possibly some problems with parser.y and lexer.c and the like.
