Re: Cross-compiling for i686-pc-mingw32

Greetings, Charles Wilson!

With cygwin-1.5.25 I can cross-compile libraries for native win32 by
starting with the following configure command:

./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin CC='gcc
-mno-cygwin' host_alias=i686-pc-mingw32

and that has worked fine on the few occasions that I've tried it.

However, with cygwin-1.7.5, it doesn't work.

For now, use CC='gcc-3 -mno-cygwin'. Soon you'll be able to use a real,
honest-to-god cross compiler version of gcc-4 instead (e.g.
"i686-pc-mingw32-gcc")

Aww... now i'm struck with it. Tried to compile http://www.acme.com/software/mini_httpd/ Installed gcc-mingw, it pulled up some additional packets including gcc itself. Then I ran make just for test. Cygwin build went fine, apart from htpasswd (there's getline redefined in source), but I don't really need it. Then tried to switch to mingw32 and...

$ gcc -b i686-pc-mingw32 -O   -c mini_httpd.c
gcc: couldn't run `i686-pc-mingw32-gcc-3.4.4': No such file or directory

Tried the suggested gcc-3 -mno-cygwin, and got a whole bunch of unresolved
function names.
So... am I doing something wrong or it's not yet ready to do so?

Can you be more specific about what you did? For example, your original post stated you could use 'gcc -mno-cygwin' when configuring back in the days of 1.5.x. Are you saying that substituting 'gcc-3' for 'gcc' in that invocation doesn't work with 1.7.x? If so, we need to see more details. See
