[Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] t4k_common added to mingw-cross-env

[David Bruce]

Hi,

t4k_common has been added to the mingw-cross-env project, so it is now
even easier to create the cross-built win32 package for tuxmath on
Linux.  Since t4k_common was just added, you need to get the
development version of mingw-cross-env from that project's mercurial
repo:

http://mingw-cross-env.nongnu.org/#development

Make sure you have the needed tools installed on your system:

http://mingw-cross-env.nongnu.org/#requirements

Then simply run:

hg clone http://hg.savannah.nongnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env
cd mingw-cross-env
make t4k_common

and the complete cross-build setup will be downloaded and installed.

Then just go to buildw32/ in your tuxmath git clone.  In
cross-configure.sh, look at MINGW_DIR and make sure it matches the
location where you installed mingw-cross-env (the default is
/opt/mingw-cross-env).

Then simply run (from buildw32/):

./tmwin.sh

and the win32 installer should be automatically built.  You need NSIS
to generate the installer file, so you might need to run "sudo apt-get
install nsis" or an equivalent.

That's it - it should now be really simple for anyone to make and test
the win32 crossbuilds.

Best,

David Bruce
