Build for Another System

August 26th, 2008 by

This is about what I did yesterday in the first day of hackweek:

hello world

It is a hello world program. No, the interesting thing about that is not that I am finally able to write a hello-world (which I copied from the internet anyway) but the system on which it is running is unusual for me. It is another system than Linux, it is Windows.

Still somehow boring to let run a hello world on Windows? Yes, but I did not build it on Windows. I build it on Linux on a free software stack. I yesterday set up a mingw compiler ready for cross compiling Windows binaries on Linux. Maybe this can be the first little step towards a Windows build target in the Buildservice.

What do you think?

    Do you know that Ludwig Nussel is building ioquake3 for Windows in the Build Service. To be more precise he build a NSIS Windows Installer of ioquake3:

  2. Nice job. 🙂

  3. LilyPond’s windows binary installers are
    cross-compiled using GRUB, a mini-distribution that includes
    all ~15 LilyPond’s dependencies.
