Hi list, I was wondering if someone had already tried to build GHDL with a i686-mingw32 cross compiler on Linux while not using the mcode variant, such that the simulation would elaborate on Linux, but build a Windows executable of the test bench.
The background motivation is the following: I've got a .vpi (shared library) in Linux that grabs the top level properties and makes them accessible through the network. Therefore it depends on another shared library. I'd like to do the same on Windows with a DLL (that is likewise depending on another DLL), but would rather want to avoid building on Windows. Another option would be, to try compiling GHDL for Windows using the mingw32 or cygwin compiler environment. I believe I've read about successful builds within the Cygwin environment. In theory, I'd say there's no reason why all the linking tricks shouldn't work with a cross compiler in order to create a w32 executable that can load a DLL. In practise, this works fine for a lot of my portable code, but theory may not apply to GHDL.. Maybe someone can share practise?
