Creating Windows EXE-Files under Linux

Sometimes a cross-compile environment can be very handy. Sam Lantinga form the libsdl.org project made a shell script (build-cross.sh) that makes it very easy to setup an GCC cross-compile environment for MinGW.

I used the follwing changes for the script:

• GCC_VERSION=3.4.2-20040916-1
• BINUTILS=binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1
• MINGW=mingw-runtime-3.3
• W32API=w32api-2.5

The EXE-files are a little bit large in size, but when you strip them the size is reduced drastically.
