But how is this possible in a cross-compiling context. I am
not sure if I can do that with the D language either as pure D
or better C. DMD does not seem to offer cross compiling. GDC
can compile better C, but not sure mingw can compile D/betterC
code.
I build programs for macOS, iOS, Windows with ldc2
cross-compiling capabilities from my Linux computer, and the
experience is okay, the executables are working fine but the
set-up is a bit complicated, you need to copy files from the
windows toolchain, copy your ldc config and edit it with some
stuff, and do that at each ldc2 update.
If you just need cross-architecture, then gdc is a good option
since it is compiled in a lot of cross compilation toolchains.
However, I never managed to build a working gdc myself with
ucrt or mingw cross-compilation capabilities, it always ends up
with a compiler unable to link or executables that can't be
executed on Windows.
Indeed, at DeepGlance we are cross-compiling and cross linking
with LDC and LLVM ld.lld, from macOS to linux.
I'm interested in understanding if it's feasible to use importC
with ffmpeg API and cross-compile and link them.
