It needs a lot of effort to set everything up. I recommend mingw-cross-env because it simply works out of the box and you can even compile stuff like Qt and build Windows Qt applications without any effort. 64-bit Windows apps also easy to build. So all things considered, it's the better solution. crossdev of course has other virtues and is universal. It's really just the MS Windows special case that makes mingw-cross-env worth looking at, since it's specialized for just this, while crossdev is a generic solution. Btw, does anyone intent to put an ebuild of mingw-cross-env in Portage? :P

It needs a lot of effort to set everything up. it'll stay that way unless someone improves things. it works for my needs, so i have no vested interest here. 64-bit Windows apps also easy to build. and it's trivial with crossdev too. i build 64bit windows JTAG/USB apps. Btw, does anyone intent to put an ebuild of mingw-cross-env in Portage? :P i only spend time on crossdev. anything else is a waste. -mike signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
