MXE (M cross environment)\n\n[![License][license-badge]][license-page]\n\n[license-page]: LICENSE.md\n[license-badge]: https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-brightgreen.svg\n\n[![Async Chat (Trial))](https://img.shields.io/badge/zulip-join_chat-brightgreen.svg)](https://mxe.zulipchat.com/)\n\nMXE (M cross environment) is a GNU Makefile that compiles a cross\ncompiler and cross compiles many free libraries such as SDL and\nQt. Thus, it provides a nice cross compiling environment for\nvarious target platforms, which:\n\n  * is designed to run on any Unix system\n  * is easy to adapt and to extend\n  * builds many free libraries in addition to the cross compiler\n  * can also build just a subset of the packages, and automatically builds their dependencies\n  * downloads all needed packages and verifies them by their checksums\n  * is able to update the version numbers of all packages automatically\n  * directly uses source packages, thus ensuring the whole build mechanism is transparent\n  * allows inter-package and intra-package parallel builds whenever possible\n  * bundles [ccache](https://ccache.samba.org) to speed up repeated builds\n  * integrates well with autotools, cmake, qmake, and hand-written makefiles.\n  * has been in continuous development since 2007 and is used by several projects\n\n## Supported Toolchains\n\n  * Runtime: MinGW-w64\n  * Host Triplets:\n    - `i686-w64-mingw32`\n    - `x86_64-w64-mingw32`\n  * Packages:\n    - static\n    - shared\n  * GCC Threading Libraries (`winpthreads` is always available):\n    - [posix](https://github.com/mxe/mxe/pull/958) [(default)](https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/2258)\n    - win32 (supported by limited amount packages)\n  * GCC Exception Handling:\n    - Default\n      - i686: sjlj\n      - x86_64: seh\n    - [Alternatives (experimental)](https://github.com/mxe/mxe/pull/1664)\n      - i686: dw2\n      - x86_64: sjlj\n\nPlease see [mxe.cc](https://mxe.cc/) for further information and package support matrix.\n\n## Build Dependencies\n\nFor some packages additional dependencies are required to be installed in order to build:\n\n* Python 3\n\n## Usage\n\nYou can use the `make` command to start the build.  \n\nBelow *an example* of cross-compiling the GTK3 project to one statically linked Windows 64-bit library:\n\n```sh\nmake gtk3 -j 8 MXE_TARGETS='x86_64-w64-mingw32.static'\n```\n\nPlease see [mxe.cc](https://mxe.cc/) for more information about how-to build the MXE project.\n\n## Packages\n\nWithin the [MXE makefiles](src) we either define `$(PKG)_GH_CONF` or `$(PKG)_URL`, which will be used to download the package.  \nNext the checksum will be validated of the downloaded archive file (sha256 checksum).\n\nUpdating a package or updating checksum is all possible using the make commands, see [usage for more info](https://mxe.cc/#usage).\n\n## Shared Library Notes\nThere are several approaches to recursively finding DLL dependencies (alphabetical list):\n  * [go script](https://github.com/desertbit/gml/blob/master/cmd/gml-copy-dlls/main.go)\n  * [pe-util](https://github.com/gsauthof/pe-util) packaged with [mxe](https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/pe-util.mk)\n  * [python script](https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/tools/copydlldeps.py)\n  * [shell script](https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/tools/copydlldeps.md)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmxe%2Fmxe","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmxe%2Fmxe","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmxe%2Fmxe/lists"}
