If you want to give it a try on a sample project you can try this one: https://github.com/TheErk/CMake-tutorial/tree/master/examples It may be cross-compiled on a Linux host with mingw cross-compiler installed. try: $ mkdir build-win32 $ cd build-win32 $ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../totally-free/Toolchain-cross-mingw32-linux.cmake ../totally-free/ -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
