Compiling with MinGW (OpenXcom)

Hmaon: /* Download the prerequisite libraries */

== Compiling on Ubuntu 12.10 or 12.04LTS ==

=== Install the cross-compiler ===

`apt-get install g++-mingw-w64-i686`

This is the compiler targeting Win32/x86. If you want to build a 64-bit binary, you're on your own for libraries.

=== Grab the source ===

e.g., `git clone https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom.git`

Don't have git installed? Install it with `apt-get install git`.

=== Download the prerequisite libraries ===

Building all the prerequisites from source is a good way to waste a day of your life. Some of them are availalbe in the stock package repositries, such as libsdl and libogg, but the majority are not. I recommend downloading [http://bumba.net/~hmaon/oxc/OXC-mingw32-cross-tools.tar.xz the tarball of static libraries I've compiled].

Supposing that you've downloaded the file to ~/Downloads, install the contents with the following commands: `cd / ; tar xvJf ~/Downloads/OXC-mingw32-cross-tools.tar.xz`. This will place a bunch of files in /usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32.

This fileset includes a 64-bit pkg-config binary. If you need a 32-bit one, build it with the following steps:
: apt-get source pkg-config
: cd pkg-config-*
: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32
: make
: sudo make install

=== Get the Makefile and make ===

[http://bumba.net/~hmaon/oxc/Makefile.mingw-hmaon Download my Makefile.] It's based on Makefile.simple and Michal's gitbuilder file. Place the file in OpenXcom/src and `make`!

Note: -lws2_32 is only needed for ntohl(), used by the FLAC library iirc.

== MXE ==
Michal uses a different setup for his own builds and gitbuilder, based on [http://mxe.cc/ MXE]. I haven't tried MXE myself but supposedly its compiler rejects the -msse2 flag. On the other hand, it looks like it'll build all the libraries for you!
