Re: Cross-development of Windows 32-bit applications under FreeBSD?

2005-04-10 Thread Michael S
I don't know whether it is possible with only FreeBSD,
however you can check whether you can run Visual
Studio under the Wine emulator or use one of those
cross-platform toolkits such as Qt or WxWidgets. The
latter one will not give you Win32 binaries, but it's
quite easy to port the code to Windows.
Hope it helps.

I'm trying to avoid Visual(Anything) since it costs around $2900, and
that's hard to justify for just playing around with little applications.

djgpp is a port of gcc which can compile dos exucatables, from the site 

Yes, I know Windows is the wave of the future, but I don't like it, so I 
don't support it. DJGPP is for making DOS programs, and if you can convince 
it to make a Windows program, good for you. 

how easy it would be to make windows executables I don't know. 

I would reckon your best bet would be to use something like lcc with some 
windows emulation, since you are going to want to test and debug it too. Even 
with that, I would feel very uncomfortable producing a windows program that I 
hadn't tested  on a pure windows system. 

Cheers, 
Martin

Using MinGW, you can write windows apps using the tools you know from
FreeBSD. I'm using it to cross-compile freebsd-amd64 apps for windows.

Applications (e.g. filters) that stick to the functionality of the
standard C library can be easily cross-compiled for Windows. It also
comes with headers and import libraries for win32 graphical apps.

Is it possible to develop and build native Windows 32-bit applications
under FreeBSD, using only command-line tools like gcc and other
open-source components?

hm i dont know whether this is a solution for u but u can download turbo c 
and turbo cpp for dos from the borland ftp. its free and makes dos 
applications (without the need of extra dll, or sim)... with some 
modifikation its also possible to make win applications... cygwin is another 
solution...

Perhaps running cygwin under wine would help (if it is at all
possible)? You'll probably need access to native Windows DLLs
instead of the wine libs though.

BTW, if you really want to write cross-platform apps, you may consider
using Qt (not kde!) or wxWidgets. Just develop under FreeBSD as usual,
and then compile against the Windows versions of the libraries (Beware:
Qt requires  for the Windows version last time I checked), using
Cygwin, Borland C++ or Microsoft Visual C++ (under Wine, if you prefer
and if it is possible).

Good luck!

Check out /usr/ports/devel/mingw , which will install a gcc
cross-compiler targeted to build native win32 binaries.
