[XviD-devel] [CVS commit] devapi4 -- better cross compilation handling

[Edouard Gomez]

Hello,

This started on IRC trying to  find out why the build failed with cygwin
(there was  no bug other than the  usual one between the  screen and the
chair) and it ended with me building a win32 dll on my gnu/linux system.

That could also make happy  people wanting to automate the build process
for a daily snapshot.

    Summary:
      Better cross compilation handling.
    Revision:
      xvidcore--devapi4--1.0--patch-70

    With this patch it is now possible to cross compile xvid
    quite easily for win32 platform on a build linux host.
    
    Recipe for debian system:
     $ apt-get install mingw32
     (or create your own cross compiler/binutils suite and install mingw32
      header files -- sorry i don't have a recipe for this, this is let as
      an exercice for the reader)
     $ cd ${xvidcore}
     $ cd build/generic
     $ ./bootstrap.sh
     $ ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc
      (all occurences of i586-mingw32msvc may be replaced with the right
       prefix you've choosen for your cross compiler and cross binutils)
     $ make
     $ cd ../../vfw/bin
     $ make -f Makefile.cygwin \
      CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc WINDRES=i586-mingw32msvc-windres
    
    Enjoy your win32 xvid.dll build by free software, on a free OS, for a devil
    OS target.
