<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>
MXE (M cross environment) is a Makefile that
compiles a cross compiler and cross compiles
many free libraries such as SDL and Qt. Thus,
it provides a nice cross compiling environment
for various target platforms, which
</p>
<ul>
<li>
is designed to
<a href="#requirements">run on any Unix system</a>
</li>
<li>
is easy to adapt and to extend
</li>
<li>
builds
<a href="#packages">many free libraries</a>
in addition to the cross compiler
</li>
<li>
can also
<a href="#usage">build just a subset</a>
of the packages,
and automatically builds their dependencies
</li>
<li>
downloads all needed packages
and verifies them by their checksums
</li>
<li>
is able to update the version numbers of all packages automatically
</li>
<li>
directly uses source packages,
thus ensuring the whole build mechanism is transparent
</li>
<li>
allows inter-package and intra-package
<a href="#usage">parallel builds</a>
whenever possible
</li>
<li>
is already
<a href="#used-by">used by several projects</a>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Step 1: Requirements and Download</h3>
<p>
First, you should ensure that your system meets
MXE's
<a href="#requirements">requirements</a>.
You will almost certainly have to install some stuff.
</p>
<p>
When everything is fine, download the
<a href="#download">current stable version</a>:
</p>
<pre>git clone -b stable https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git</pre>
<p>
If you don't mind installing it in your home directory,
just skip the following step and go straight to step 3.
</p>
<h3>Step 2: System-wide Installation (optional)</h3>
<p>
Now you should save any previous installation
of the MXE.
Assuming you've installed it under
/opt/mxe (any other directory will do as well),
you should execute the following commands:
</p>
<pre>su
mv /opt/mxe /opt/mxe.old
exit</pre>
<p>
Then you need to transfer the entire directory to its definitive location.
We will assume again you use /opt/mxe,
but feel free to use any other directory if you like.
</p>
<pre>su
mv mxe /opt/mxe
exit</pre>
<p>
We're almost done.
Just change to your newly created directory and get going:
</p>
<pre>cd /opt/mxe</pre>
<h3>Step 3: Build MXE</h3>
<p>
Enter the directory where you've downloaded the MXE.
Now it depends on what you actually want – or need.
</p>
<p>
If you choose to enter:
</p>
<pre>make</pre>
<p>
you're in for a long wait,
because it compiles
<a href="#packages">a lot of packages</a>.
On the other hand it doesn't require any intervention,
so you're free to do whatever you like
– like watch a movie or go for a night on the town.
When it's done you'll find that you've installed
a very capable Win32 cross compiler onto your system.

If you only need the most basic tools you can also use:

<pre>make gcc</pre>
<p>
and add any additional packages you need later on.
You can also supply a host of packages on the
<a href="#usage">command line</a>,
e.g.:
</p>
<pre>make gtk lua libidn</pre>
<p>
You'll always end up with a consistent cross compiling environment.
</p>
<p>
If you have trouble here, you can try different versions from the
<a href="#download">download section</a>. Also, please feel free to
contact the mxe team through the
<a href="http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mingw-cross-env-list">project mailing list</a>.
</p>
<p>
After you're done it just needs a little post-installation.
</p>
<h3>Step 4: Environment Variables</h3>
<p>
Edit your .bashrc script in order to change $PATH:
</p>
<pre>export PATH=/<em>where MXE is installed</em>/usr/bin:$PATH</pre>
<p>
In case you are using custom $PKG_CONFIG_PATH entries,
you can add separate entries for cross builds:
</p>
<pre>export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="<em>entries for native builds</em>"</pre>
<pre>export PKG_CONFIG_PATH_i686_pc_mingw32="<em>entries for MXE builds</em>"</pre>
<p>
Remember to use i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config
instead of pkg-config for cross builds.
The Autotools do that automatically for you.
</p>
<p>
Note that any other compiler related environment variables
(like $CC, $LDFLAGS, etc.)
may spoil your compiling pleasure,
so be sure to delete or disable those.
</p>
<p>
Congratulations!
You're ready to cross compile anything you like.
</p>
<h3>Step 5a: Cross compile your Project (Autotools)</h3>
<p>
If you use the
<a href="http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html">Autotools</a>,
all you have to do is:
</p>
<pre>./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32
make</pre>
<p>
If you build a library, you might also want to enforce a static build:
</p>
<pre>./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --enable-static --disable-shared
make</pre>
<p>
Don't worry about a warning like this:
</p>
<pre>configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.</pre>
<p>
Everything will be just fine.
</p>
<h3>Step 5b: Cross compile your Project (CMake)</h3>
<p>
If you have a
<a href="http://www.cmake.org/">CMake</a> project,
you can use the provided toolchain file:
</p>
<pre>cmake ... -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/<em>where MXE is installed</em>/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/share/cmake/mxe-conf.cmake</pre>
<h3>Step 5c: Cross compile your Project (Qt)</h3>
<p>
If you have a
<a href="http://qt.nokia.com/">Qt</a> application,
all you have to do is:
</p>
<pre>i686-pc-mingw32-qmake
make</pre>
<p>
If you are using Qt plugins
such as the svg or ico image handlers,
you should also have a look at the
<a href="http://qt.nokia.com/doc/plugins-howto.html#static-plugins">Qt documentation about static plugins</a>.
</p>
<p>
Note the sql drivers (-qt-sql-*)
and the image handlers for jpeg, tiff, gif and mng
are built-in, <em>not</em> plugins.
</p>
<h3>Step 5d: Cross compile your Project (Makefile)</h3>
<p>
If you have a handwritten Makefile,
you probably will have to make a few adjustments to it:
</p>
<pre>CC=$(CROSS)gcc
LD=$(CROSS)ld
AR=$(CROSS)ar
PKG_CONFIG=$(CROSS)pkg-config</pre>
<p>
You may have to add a few others, depending on your project.
</p>
<p>
Then, all you have to do is:
</p>
<pre>make CROSS=i686-pc-mingw32-</pre>
<p>
That's it!
</p>
<h3>Step 5e: Cross compile your Project (OSG)</h3>
<p>
Using static OpenSceneGraph libraries requires a few changes to your source.
The graphics subsystem and all plugins required by your application must be
referenced explicitly. Use a code block like the following:
</p>
<pre>#ifdef OSG_LIBRARY_STATIC
USE_GRAPHICSWINDOW()
USE_OSGPLUGIN(<plugin1>)
USE_OSGPLUGIN(<plugin2>)
...
#endif</pre>
<p>
Look at <code>examples/osgstaticviewer/osgstaticviewer.cpp</code> in the
OpenSceneGraph source distribution for an example. This example can be
compiled with the following command:
</p>
<pre>i686-pc-mingw32-g++ \
-o osgstaticviewer.exe examples/osgstaticviewer/osgstaticviewer.cpp \
`i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config --cflags openscenegraph-osgViewer openscenegraph-osgPlugins` \
`i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config --libs openscenegraph-osgViewer openscenegraph-osgPlugins`</pre>
<p>
The <code>i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config</code> command from MXE will
automatically add <code>-DOSG_LIBRARY_STATIC</code> to your compiler flags.
</p>
<h3>Further Steps</h3>
<p>
If you need further assistance,
feel free to join the
<a href="http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mingw-cross-env-list">project mailing list</a>
where you'll get in touch with
the MXE developers
and other users.

<div id="development"></div>
<h2 id="download">Download</h2>
<p>
To obtain the current stable version, run:
</p>
<pre>git clone -b stable https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git</pre>
<p>
The development version can be obtained by:
</p>
<pre>git clone -b master https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git</pre>
<p>
<strong>N.B.</strong> when using the development version,
ensure you use the local documentation (index.html) -
the website reflects the stable branch.
</p>
<p>
To retrieve updates, run:
</p>
<pre>git pull</pre>
<p>
You can also browse the
<a href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe">web repository</a>.
</p>
<p>
In addition,
feel free to join the
<a href="http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mingw-cross-env-list">project mailing list</a>
and to <a href="#creating-packages">propose new packages</a>.
</p>
<h3>For Committers</h3>
<p>
The following <code>.git/config</code> settings ensure
that the stable branch will always be pushed to the
<code><a href="http://help.github.com/pages/">gh-pages</a></code>
branch in addition to the
<code>stable</code> branch,
thus ensuring the website will always stay in sync:
</p>
<pre>[remote "origin"]
url = [email protected]:mxe/mxe.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
push = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master
push = refs/heads/stable:refs/heads/stable
push = refs/heads/stable:refs/heads/gh-pages
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "stable"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/stable</pre>
<h3>Branch Concept</h3>
<p>
For the sake of simplicity, there are just two
branches, "master" and "stable". Although it might
seem obvious, here's an overview of the types of
changes that go into each branch:
</p>
<ul class="compact-list">
<li>
Any change of a build script goes into "master".
</li>
<li>
Any package upgrade goes into "master".
</li>
<li>
Any documentation upgrade that refers to a feature
not present in stable goes into "master".
</li>
<li>
Anything else that doesn't affect the build goes
into "stable".
</li>
<li>
Any non-critical improvement to the main Makefile
goes into "stable".
</li>
<li>
Any improvement in the package download URLs or
package version recognition goes into "stable".
</li>
<li>
When in doubt, "master" is used rather than "stable".
</li>
<li>
After a successful testing phase, the whole "master"
branch will be merged into "stable" (fast-forward).
</li>
</ul>

<p>
The NSIS package contains some native tools that are
currently 32-bit only. In order to build these on a
64-bit system, multi-lib support must be enabled in the
compiler toolchain. However, not all operating systems
support this.
