# Cross-compiling with MXE
|
|
|
|
MXE works for any BSD-compatible system (including Linux).
|
|
It is a complete package with cross-compiler to Win32 (a MinGW variant)
|
|
and includes scripts to automatically download and build many 3rd party
|
|
libraries and tools.
|
|
|
|
To cross-compile Colobot using MXE:
|
|
|
|
1. See the MXE website (http://mxe.cc) for list of required packages and make sure
|
|
you have them installed.
|
|
|
|
2. Download MXE and unpack it in the directory, where you want to keep it
|
|
permanently. During the build, MXE will write that path to many files,
|
|
so moving that directory can be tricky.
|
|
|
|
3. `cd` to the MXE root directory.
|
|
It already contains a universal Makefile for everything.
|
|
Usage is simply `make name_of_package`.
|
|
It will automatically check for dependencies, etc.
|
|
The packages will be installed in the MXE directory under `usr/`.
|
|
|
|
You need to `make gcc` first for basic compiler and then do the same
|
|
for some additional libraries. In the end, you should have the following
|
|
packages installed (this is the final listing of `usr/installed/`):
|
|
* binutils
|
|
* boost
|
|
* bzip2
|
|
* check-requirements
|
|
* expat
|
|
* flac
|
|
* freetype
|
|
* gcc
|
|
* gcc-gmp
|
|
* gcc-mpc
|
|
* gcc-mpfr
|
|
* gettext
|
|
* glew
|
|
* jpeg
|
|
* libiconv
|
|
* libpng
|
|
* libtool
|
|
* mingwrt
|
|
* portaudio
|
|
* sdl
|
|
* sdl_image
|
|
* sdl_ttf
|
|
* tiff
|
|
* w32api
|
|
* xz
|
|
* zlib
|
|
|
|
For optional audio support you'll need also:
|
|
* openal
|
|
* libsndfile
|
|
* ogg
|
|
* vorbis
|
|
* flac
|
|
|
|
4. Now `cd` to directory with colobot sources. To cross-compile a CMake project,
|
|
you have to specify a CMake toolchain file. MXE has such file in MXE's directory:
|
|
`usr/i686-pc-mingw32/share/cmake/mxe-conf.cmake`
|
|
Toolchain file is specified thus:`cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/mxe-conf.cmake .`
|
|
CMake files in Colobot should detect that MXE is being used and they will
|
|
modify flags, paths, etc. as required. You should not run into any problems.
|
|
*Note:* you may also want to use a separate out-of-source build directory for MXE.
|
|
|
|
5. `make` should now compile the game with the resulting exe in `bin/colobot.exe`.
|
|
The exe is linked against all libraries *statically*, so there are no dependencies
|
|
on external DLLs. However, the resulting binary will be huge with all these libraries,
|
|
so you might want to do:`strip bin/colobot.exe`.
