[issue1597850] Cross compiling patches for MINGW
rwmjones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I'm trying to use this patch to cross-compile Python under Fedora, using the Fedora-MinGW project (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW) IMHO the documentation is confusing. It sounds from the docs like CC_FOR_BUILD should be the native system compiler -- eg. all the examples show CC_FOR_BUILD=gcc But I didn't get very far at all doing that. It seems that what you mean is CC_FOR_BUILD=i686-pc-mingw32-gcc (ie. the cross-compiler). Also the extra patches added by lkcl are necessary to get posixmodules.c to compile. I'm trying 2.5.2 at the moment, and while I haven't succeeded getting it all compiled yet, it's very definitely necessary to fix posixmodules.c -- nosy: +rwmjones ___ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1597850> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

rwmjones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I'm very slowly working up a patch here (again 2.5.2). Since I haven't actually got even python.exe compiled yet I can't promise anything, but you never know ... ___ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1597850> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

rwmjones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Just to clarify, in the MinGW case we are interested in: "build" = Fedora Linux, usually i386 or x86-64 (but not always) "host" = Windows i386 We can, to a limited extent, run the host binaries on the build system, using Wine (the Windows emulator). This doesn't always work, and in any case is usually regarded as the wrong thing to do because Wine is a very large and complicated build dependency which requires, amongst other things, a working X server. Also since Wine doesn't run on anything which is not x86-like, if we have to run Wine during the build then we cannot cross-compile from other Fedora build systems, specifically ppc and sparc. ___ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1597850> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
