Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong list for this message. I'm still rather new to using mingw :/
I have used the OBS to create a mingw cross compiled fontforge: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/monkeyiq:/fontforge/win64_mingw/noarch/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/monkeyiq:/fontforge/win32_mingw/noarch/ I then installed this using a command line the below: download-mingw-rpm.py -p home:monkeyiq:fontforge -r win32_mingw --no-clean --deps fontforge The download script doesn't get the mingw repository too, so I then installed the missing dependencies (glib2, libxml, pango, etc). Unfortunately when I try to run fontforge.exe I get a crash. I've tried using the process monitor and straceNT to see why, but to no avail. I've used download-mingw-rpm to grab abiword and that runs just fine. If I try to run abiword in straceNT then it too crashes which leads me to believe that straceNT is not going to give me any fresh hints as to why the fontforge.exe will not run. There is a short banner message that fontforge prints on stderr shortly after starting. I see this in windows before fontforge crashes. So atleast I know that main() is running. This leads me to think that the executable is somewhat ok, and finding its libraries ok, but that *something* is going bad after that. I'm assuming that there isn't anything I need to change in the fontforge code itself to run on a mingw environment? The build spec for 32bit windows is here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?expand=1&file=fontforgewin.spec&package=fontforge-win&project=home%3Amonkeyiq%3Afontforge Any thoughts or links to strace like tools that might provide some insight (ie, that also work against the abiword etc) are greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
