Overview
Status - a list of currently compiling ros packages via mingw_cross.
Installation
Mingw Cross
You can of course install the mingw cross environment directly yourself following the instructions at the mingw cross home page. Alternatively:
> roscd mingw_cross
> make install # downloads, installs into ~/mingw
# compiles gcc, apr, apr-util, log4cxx, boost, qt
# adds mingw_cross binary path to PATH in ~/.bashrc
> make uninstall # remove ~/mingw and delete modifications in ~/.bashrcInstallation location can be moved if the MINGW_INSTALL_PREFIX environment variable is set before running make install.
Further build recipes can be compiled into the toolchain by simply switching to the mingw root and making the appropriate target. A list of packages that can be installed can be found here. To build wxwidgets for example,
cd ~/mingw make wxwidgets
