32MXE setup
33---------
34
404eb356 35First, get the MXE cross-compile environment for MinGW-w64/Windows:
91d4c754
UH
36
37 $ cd $HOME
38 $ git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git mxe-git
39 $ cd mxe-git

41Apply some fixes that are currently required for a proper build:
42
43 $ patch -p1 < mxe_fixes.patch
44
01b17442 45Build all required packages:

47 $ make MXE_TARGETS=i686-w64-mingw32.static.posix \
48 MXE_PLUGIN_DIRS=plugins/examples/qt5-freeze \
f8dd8b1e 49 gcc glib libzip libusb1 libftdi1 hidapi glibmm qtbase qtimageformats \

51 qtbase_CONFIGURE_OPTS='-no-sql-mysql'

53This will take a while.

55You can also use "MXE_TARGETS=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static.posix" to build
5664-bit installers instead.

58See http://mxe.cc for details on MXE.

60Note: We're "freezing" the Qt5 version to Qt 5.7.x, since that's the last
61version that supports Windows XP (which we currently still want to support).

64Building
65--------
66
67 $ ./sigrok-cross-mingw
68
69Per default it expects MXE in:
70
71 $HOME/mxe-git
72
73Per default it will install the cross-compiled packages in:
74
4afaa19d
UH
75 $HOME/sr_mingw_release_32
76
77This depends on whether you're doing a 64-bit or 32-bit build, and whether
78you enabled debug builds or not.
