[RFC/PATCH v1] Towards MinGW(-W64) cross-compilation
This patch series fixes building on modern MinGW and (32bit only yet) MinGW-W64.
*Compilation* tested on: - MSVC (via WinGit environment) - msysGit environment - Linux cross-toolchain i686-pc-mingw32 (4.8.2) with mingw-runtime-3.20.2 - Linux cross-toolchain i686-w64-mingw32 (4.8.2) with mingw64-runtime-3.1.0
Stuff still required to make Git build with x86_64 MinGW-W64 toolchain:
1. Drop -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T that was added in fa93bb to config.mak.uname because time_t cannot be 32bit on x86_64. I haven't yet figured out what should break if this define is removed (pointers are welcome) and why it was added in the first place.
2. Stop passing --large-address-aware to linker. I wonder if it does anything for 32bit MinGW builds.
3. Fix several places with mismatched pointer size casts.
Building it from Gentoo Linux:
MinGW:
crossdev -t i686-pc-mingw32 ARCH=x86 emerge-i686-pc-mingw32 -u dev-libs/libiconv sys-libs/zlib net-misc/curl sys-devel/gettext expat cd <git> make CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-mingw32- CC=i686-pc-mingw32-gcc NO_OPENSSL=1 MINGW=1 CURLDIR=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/usr
MinGW-W64 (32 bit):
crossdev -t i686-w64-mingw32 ARCH=x86 emerge-i686-w64-mingw32 -u dev-libs/libiconv sys-libs/zlib net-misc/curl sys-devel/gettext expat cd <git> make CROSS_COMPILE=i686-w64-mingw32- CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc NO_OPENSSL=1 MINGW=1 CURLDIR=/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/usr
Debian/Ubuntu build instructions are WIP (xdeb is non-trivial at all).
