Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] difference between your projects

[r . 3]

ok thanks!
The first link is not working, but the second is verty interesting and seems 
accurante and maintained. It is too bad it is not indicated in the wiki page of 
the project about cross compilation!
The ultimate thing would be mingw-w64 scripts with mingw-w64 ;-)

The main differences are:
- mingw-w64 provides headers and runtime that allow you to build both
64 and 32-bit compilers, and also complete binary toolchains for
various operating systems.
- mingw-cross-env is 32-bit only (using the mingw.org headers and
runtime), and automates the process of building the cross-compilers
and many other libraries, with a focus on building static binaries.

Take a look at the documentation here:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/download%20filename%20structure

and here if you want to build your own:

http://mingw-w64.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mingw-w64/trunk/mingw-w64-doc/howto-build/
