Hi all, Thanks to Tor's cross-compilation work [1], and Fridrich's MinGW Open Build Service packages [2], I was able to get the compilation of Windows MinGW packages on Linux to a state that it builds all the way up to instsetoo_native quite reliably. So I've setup a tinderbox that ensures that this is not going to bitrot ;-) - see "MinGW cross-compilation" at
http://tinderbox.libreoffice.org/MASTER/status.html Updated build instructions are here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/README.cross If you are interested in hacking on this, this is a copy of the TODO part: - installation - so far the make_installer.pl calls makecab.exe, uuidgen.exe, and others; would be best to avoid that if at all possible (using a free cab implementation, part of Wine or something) - MSI generation - if at all possible, the make dev-install installation (with links back to the build) should be done so that it would be directly executable via wine after doing make dev-install :-) - runtime - no idea if the entire thing works after the installation at all; I suppose there will be runtime problems to look at too - cleanup - enable & fix pieces that are currently disabled - --without-myspell-dicts - --disable-directx - --disable-activex - --disable-mozilla - much of the stuff currently relies on --with-system-*, and consequently on the mingw32-* openSUSE packages; might be good to be able to build with as few dependencies as possible - but that is low prio I think - profiling - when all the above is sorted out, we should look at the speed of this vs. the speed of the MSVC version Patches most welcome! :-) [1] http://tml-blog.blogspot.com/2011/06/cross-compiling-libreoffice-to-ios.html [2] http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/ Regards, Kendy _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
