[MPlayer-users] unable to cross compile?

[Roger Pack]

Hello.
Here is my feedback from an attempt at cross compiling today,
so...since I'm not awesome at it, take it with a grain of...sand :)

First, I had "hoped" that passing it something like
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32

would "automagically" setup the correct cc/windres settings, etc.  It
appears it doesn't?

Next, I ran this script (perhaps it isn't enough?):

export PATH=/home/rdp/dev/ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers/sandbox/mingw-w64-i686/i686-w64-mingw32/bin/:/home/rdp/dev/ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers/sandbox/mingw-w64-i686/bin:$PATH

./configure --target=i686-w64-mingw32 --enable-static
--enable-cross-compile --windres=i686-w64-mingw32-windres
--cc=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc && make -j 5

This successfully configured it (with dependencies), then I believe I
received a few failure messages:


$ make
./version.sh `i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -dumpversion`
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -MD -MP -Wundef -Wall -Wno-switch

osdep/getch2.c:40:23: fatal error: sys/ioctl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [osdep/getch2.o] Error 1

then similar failures, after removing that file:
sub/unrar_exec.c:24:22: fatal error: sys/wait.h: No such file or directory
...
osdep/shmem.c:33:21: fatal error: sys/uio.h: No such file or directory

Then finally, at link time, this:

i686-w64-mingw32-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-rdynamic'

So anyway feedback welcome.
Thanks!
