Hey Sebastian, I was actually going to remove my pull and submit a new one. I've changed how the system packages the installer (using CPack now instead of straight NSIS. I'll have to update the documentation to reflect the changes for non Debian systems (if you'd like to tell me the required packages on Mac I'd be more then happy to add Mac support to the cross building (unfortunately I don't have a Mac to test on, and am unfamiliar with the packaging system).
All my checks are pretty loose so I should definitely tighten up and test those a little better. The specific mxe problem you listed has sort of been fixed since I discovered during testing that if you compile mxe in your build dir, you need to do an awful lot to get it to work once moved to /opt. So now it builds in and checks against /opt/mxe. I'll tighten up the checks for some of the requirements of mxe before setting it as installed in my new version. With the cleanup I did for the experimental 64bit windows version, I obsoleted some of the code in the script file, and was thinking about building an mxe installer as a separate item. Unfortunately I haven't gotten the 64bit version to compile just yet but it's a work in progress. My readme file has become a little outdated but I plan on updating it with the proper manual steps. As well as a brief description of the options in the script. I will need to do this because the build structure has changed since CPack wanted to include everything in the package, and wasn't moving the exe and dll files to the proper locations, and when I'd move the source tree into a sub directory using CPack everything would break. The new structure is build/hydrogen git clone hydrogen then rename hydrogen to source and build in the project dir. With this change though I was required to do some linking as CPack was complaining about absolute paths. Hopefully I'll have a better version of everything by next week sometime. In the meantime if you want to email me some of the Mac specific stuff I can build it into the script so you hopefully won't run into issues with the cross compile next time.
