I have got a CPP source files generated by OpenFL/Haxe for Linux (Fedora 21 x86_64).
I would like to attempt to cross-compile this to Windows executable using mingw-64 but does not know how to generate the proper Makefile for this as there where alot of cpp files in the scr folder.
How do I create this make file?
or
If there is an approach to configure OpenFL/Haxe to do cross compile using mingw-64 that would also be appreciated.
Compiling Windows program from linux was not available from OpenFl during that time, I created several pull requests and code updates to enable it, however, the attempt was turned down. I think its due to manageability and market. But idea of coding in Linux for every OS makes Linux a powerful coding platform!
It took quite sometime to solve it on my end since some codes in its haxe component was needed to be updated. I continued my research and ended up contributing few codes to OpenFl and Haxe/Hxcpp.
New problems in compilation have arised that are far more difficult to solve, Ret-Mode have proposed a better solution that time. For those interested, check here: https://github.com/Ret-Mode/lime apply his fix to your Lime installation. The method for cross-compilation is as follows:
Installation on Linux for crosscompilation
1 Clone repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Ret-Mode/lime
2 Setup:
haxelib dev lime lime
2a Rebuild tools (from lime/${version}/tools folder):
haxe tools.hxml
3 First build for Your linux architecture:
haxelib run lime rebuild linux -DHXCPP_M32 -32
haxelib run lime rebuild linux -DHXCPP_M64 -64
3a Build lime for MinGW, also choose Your MinGW arch:
haxelib run lime rebuild windows -Dmingw -DHXCPP_M32 -32
haxelib run lime rebuild windows -Dmingw -DHXCPP_M64 -64
4 Build projects for Your arch:
haxelib run lime build windows -Dmingw -64
haxelib run lime build windows -Dmingw -32
5 If You have WINE installed, You should have Your app icon swapped. If not, app will have native icon, but will work
