General / Re: Best way to cross-compile my game from linux?

The only solution that worked for me:

• Install virtualbox and windows xp
• Recompile SFML with your compiler of choice (MinGW for me)
• Download Code::Blocks use tutorials on the site and compile your game with dynamic libraries

8 hours but it was worth the time!

From Windows to Linux, the best way is to install a virtual machine. Or even a native Linux on another partition. A native build is always simpler and better than using a cross-toolchain.

I'd say to do the same for Windows, but since you have to pay for it...

I've never used it, but from what I heard mingw32 is the easiest way to cross-compile applications for Windows. So all you need is more tutorials and more practice

Then I will learn more, and post a generic-like makefile here if I succeed.
Ps: Thanks for creating this awesome library!

General / Best way to cross-compile my game from linux?

« on: December 18, 2012, 07:52:42 pm »

Hey guys, I finished a small game yesterday, and I'm trying hard to build an .exe file for my windows using friends with mingw32. Sadly, I'm not great at this makefile/compiling thing, and since I haven't found a post like this on the forums with a solution, my question is:

How do YOU cross-compile your SFML applications from linux?

Thanks in advance!
