Cross-compilation from GNU/Linux (static and shared DLL)
========================================================

Install MinGW, and specify which MinGW you're using:

- on Debian/Ubuntu, mingw-w64, 64-bit executables:

  apt-get install mingw-w64
  GNU_HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32

- on Debian/Ubuntu, mingw-w64, 32-bit executables:

  apt-get install mingw-w64
  GNU_HOST=i686-w64-mingw32

- on Fedora, mingw32, 32-bit executables:

  yum install mingw32-gcc
  GNU_HOST=i686-pc-mingw32

- on Debian/Ubuntu, mingw32 (deprecated):

  apt-get install mingw32
  GNU_HOST=i586-mingw32msvc


With CMake
----------

Cross-compile with:

  mkdir cross-woe/ && cd cross-woe/
  cmake \
    -D GNU_HOST=$GNU_HOST \
    -D CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=mingw_cross_toolchain.cmake \
    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/freeglut \
    ..
  make -j4
  make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)

Everything is now in the new 'freeglut/' directory.
The .dll is in 'freeglut/lib/'.


Compiling your code
-------------------

Compilation of your own programs is done as usual.
See README.cygwin_mingw for details.
