cross compile gemrb for mingw

[Guest alesko]

Hi folks,

 

I know that gemrb people dropped the autotools support. I'm using cygwin and try to build gemrb with a cross compiler (host=i686-pc-cygwin, target=i686-w64-mingw32). What do I have to do to force cmake to cross compile?

 

thanks, alesko

I personally think that this is a bad move since I also have to install mingw environment beside cygwin. I guess I must have a mingw cmake version to make it work otherwise the cygwin cmake will search for cygwin versions (libs like like python) and will fail

You can still use make, you just probably need to fix the makefiles.

If you submit patches for them, i will commit them too.

 

It was simply too much work to support both systems, and those who took up the task preferred cmake.

I personally couldn't be bothered with either of them, I lack the skills, so it would take too long.
