[PD-dev] building for Windows on GNU/Linux

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

You can also check the Jenkins server for a secondary validation.  Whenever you push commits to sourceforge, it builds it on Debian stable and testing, Mac OS X i386, X86_64, and PowerPC, and soon WindowsXP/MinGW:

https://macosx105-i386.pdlab.puredata.info/job/pure-data/

You can click thru and see the entire build log of any builds.  For example, to see why a build failed, try this:

1. click on "debian-stable-amd64" on the top middle of the page
2. click on the most recent broken build (red) on the left "Build History"
3. click on "Console Output" on the left menu

I don't know how well supported that arrangement is, for a widely supported version of that arrangement, you should try running the MinGW builds on GNU/Linux.  The makefile.mingw should work fine for that just set compiler (i.e. make CC=/path/to/mingw-gcc).  Here's lots of docs for doing this on Fedora:
