Well, ten versions too old might have been a bit of hyperbole, however, I remember that I had glibc 2.6, and somebody said they needed it compiled with 2.3, so I had to go install a really old version of slackware to make this work. As for the other dependencies, I don't know how they worked. I got the impression that autopackages where not participially useful for testing anyhow since they had to be installed to /usr (or was it /usr/local? ) and nowhere else. > >> packages at night (Eastern Standard Time) (yay for VMWare!) if I knew of >> a crom like system for Windows.

I'll take a look at using this to run a batch build of wormux. I assume I'll need NSIS installed and to change things around so it knows where to find the files. If I can get something up, I have some university provided webspace that I can host builds on, though not too big of an archive. . > > But it seems that what yekcim had in mind was rather *several* targets > at a time (say, Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora for instance), which is quite > a lot more harder to setup. > > By the way, I've added a small sketch of a guide for cross-compilation > using mingw here: > http://www.wormux.org/wiki/howto/en/cross-compile_using_mingw.php > Well, overnight I can run as many virtual machines as needed (slackware, ubuntu, and solaris is what I have now, though please don't ask me to figure out wormux on solaris... :-) ). Having other people do setup for other targets would be nice though. Maybe if there was a virtual machine we could pass around to make work, and then find a stable computer to run them all on (ideally, since I use my machine almost 24x7, an unused computer sitting in a corner somewhere would be nicer). I might be able to gain access to a computer like this, though I can't be certain of its uptime currently, nor of whether or not I can ship it up to myself so I can configure it directly. Basically though, other people with spare computers would be great for this, especially if they can run vmware. BSD builds might be nice too. I've never run a BSD before, though I have a friend who could most likely help me out with this. Maybe somebody with a Mac could make universal binaries? Has anyone even tested a recent build on a Mac? If only I had more space and more money to run a machine for each of these OS's... kyle _______________________________________________ Wormux-dev mailing list Wormux-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wormux-dev
