I should probably have been able to figure this out, but ...
I have a package with some C code in it that I've been cross-building on
my Linux machine to run under Windows. I had it working under 1.3.1, but
it seems to have stopped with 1.4.1. Building with a version of
i386-mingw32msv-gcc recently downloaded from Brian Ripley's Rtools page
(--version 2.95.2), under 1.4.1 on Linux, it works under 1.3.1 but fails
under 1.4.1. (The new version of i386-gcc I just downloaded dates back to
3 Sep 2000 according to the Page Info. The previous version I was using
(which dated to 27 Apr 2000) and the new version give the same --version
information.) The "Version" tab on the DLL does correctly indicate it
was built for 1.4.1.
Am I missing something stupid? The Rtools page says the most current
version of mingw is based on gcc 2.95.3; does the cross-compiler need to
be updated? (I'm not eager to, but I could try to assemble the
pieces and compile from source if I had to ...)
I did find some information on cross-compiling at the bottom of the
MinGW FAQ list, I may pursue this if no-one has any brilliant ideas ...
(how many people are actually doing Linux/Windows cross-compiling?)
thanks,
Ben Bolker
