Some time ago I have downloaded a package that allows to cross-build for MinGW
on Linux. Now I have to extend the MinGW system, with support for some missing
features. How can I add these extensions also to the cross-build package?
In a wider scope, what has to go into a cross-build environment at all?
This is possibly not the appropriate group for such questions, so I appreciate
any hints about further information on this subject. The compiler itself is not
a special problem to me, I have a book about porting gcc to different target
platforms. Unfortunately that book only covers the gcc related topics, but not
the framework that is required to make an cross-compiler work on a cross-build
system.
I would also like to at least cross-configure packages for another compiler.
For simplicity I'd take the existing cross-build package for MinGW, and replace
the header files (and libraries?) by those of that other compiler. Then I could
copy the configured package to the target system, for the actual build. Is this
possible? What exactly has to be done, in order to allow at least for a
cross-configure?
Thanks for all informations
