Windows Cross Compiler

[corneliu]

What is this windows cross compiler? Is it based on Mono?

[sideways]

No, it produces native windows code.

I imagine the compiler is written in C, but I'm not sure.

yeah!! it's for sure not written in MONO, because i haven't mono installed!!! so it's written in C i think...or maybe a mix of C and C++! but C is more portable, so it's in C i suppose

yum install upx mingw*

but it's for F10 too, not only for F11!!!
I suggest you to run:

i686-pc-mingw32-g++ -O2 -Wall file.cpp
upx a.exe

so you'll get a working EXE file for windows (and, thanks to upx, maybe not really so big...)

bye!!!!!

Thanks guys. Knowing that it is not based on Mono is a relief. I hope it can be removed anyway from the installation. I avoid anything that is related (even remotely) to Windows.

You don't need the mingw32 stuff unless you want to port/compile stuff for windows, withing needing windows. Nothing else should depend on it, it doesn't currently, except for its own libraries and such.

In short, if you don't need it, then don't worry about it.
