[Apt-zip-devel] Method for w32 - compiled [was: Cross Compiling for Win32

[Eddy Petrişor]

I just saw this on mentors and was wondering if we could use the
information there to compile a wget or some smilar tool for windows in
order to add a windows method while shipping the resulted wget with
the fetch script (probably adding the possibility to use a precompiled
wget from the local drive on the disconnected machine would be a good
idea).

What do you think?

Note: this way, apt-zip should recomend mingw32...

Dear Debian Mentors,

I recently wrote an article about

    "Cross Compiling for Win32"
    https://dev.njh6.de/wiki/index.php/Cross_Compiling_for_Win32

It's a wiki. Feel free to correct any mistakes and to make any useful
additions.

The article covers my current research and experiences on cross
compiling.
It strongly emphases the "Debian Way" to do it, as Debian already
contains MinGW cross compilers and packaging tools for cross compiling.
(packages: mingw32, dpkg-cross)

However, it also contains many general descriptions which are applicable
in non-Debian systems.


Greets,

    Volker Grabsch
