This is a small script for cross-compiling sigrok and its dependencies
for MinGW-w64/Windows systems.


Status
------

Working.


Requirements
------------

 - bash
 - gcc
 - make
 - cmake
 - git
 - wget
 - unzip
 - p7zip
 - pkg-config (>= 0.22)
 - sdcc (needed for building the fx2lafw firmware)
 - nsis
 - MXE (*-w64-* targets, the *-pc-* targets are not supported)


MXE setup
---------

First, get the MXE cross-compile environment for MinGW-w64/Windows:

 $ cd $HOME
 $ git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git mxe-git
 $ cd mxe-git

For now we need to build gcc and winpthreads in two steps. First:

 $ make MXE_TARGETS=i686-w64-mingw32.static gcc winpthreads

In src/gcc.mk change "--enable-threads=win32" to "--enable-threads=posix".

Then build gcc again:

 $ make MXE_TARGETS=i686-w64-mingw32.static gcc

We now have a system that supports C++11 std::thread. Now build the rest:

 $ make MXE_TARGETS=i686-w64-mingw32.static glib libzip libusb1 libftdi \
   glibmm qtbase boost check

This will take a while.

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


Building
--------

 $ ./sigrok-cross-mingw

Per default it expects MXE in:

 $HOME/mxe-git

Per default it will install the cross-compiled packages in:

 $HOME/sr_mingw

Please edit the script if you want to change any settings.
