Actually you are wrong there! We cross compile our major application (about 500k lines of C/C++) on linux/x86 for various architectures, Windows/x86 being one of them. We create the Windows installer using the Nullsoft installer (which we run under Wine) and compile with a gcc / mingw cross compiler. This all works very well and means we can build all our architectures every night on a single machine. I'm following this thread with interest because we are considering embedding Python into this project, and I'm wondering whether we can cross compile python using mingw (almost certainly by the sound of it), but probably harder would be to make python module build and install system work cross-wise. -- Nick Craig-Wood <nick at craig-wood.com> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick
