I did some experiments cross compiling with mingw some years ago, I don't remember the exact details other than it failed on lack of some parts like wchar_t and other features I needed. My conclusion was it was not worth the trouble.<br>

I have played with cross-compilation, but it was never exactly clear to me how to build libraries that are compatible with Visual Studio using MinGW. There seem to be some additional steps involved besides just straight compiling with the autotools. If this is indeed a viable option and you can advise, that would be great!<br>

Hi All,<br>
While we're on the topic, which interests me, has anyone succeeded in building the<br>
windows versions by mingw cross-compiling?<br>
On Fedora linux, at least, these cross compilers (& packages) come with names like<br>
i686-pc-mingw-g++<br>
and they have been very useful to me in building windows libs etc (in other codes) without the Visual Studio dramas etc.<br>
Perhaps of interest to anyone wanting to assemble scripts for automatic nightly builds, or the like....<br>
Best wishes all,<br>
James.<br>

Would be nice to have up to date osx versions as well.<br>

Not being one who wants to deal with Visual Studio and Windows builds, are there pre-built CBC binaries (nightly) for trunk available? The binaries at <a href="http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Cbc" target="_blank">www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Cbc</a><<a href="http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Cbc" target="_blank">http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Cbc</a>> are strictly released / tagged versions.<br>
