Re: [PATCH 1/3] programs: Add rule for cross-building modules.

Allows cross-building modules similar to how tests are cross-built.
For each module, a MODULE_cross.exe target is added to cross-build the module. No other targets are affected.
Cross-building doesn't work if the module uses libwine or the associated includes. Currently only notepad_cross.exe can be built using this method, but next patch makes it possible to also build winetest_cross.exe.
[I always found it annoying that make crosstest only builds executables for individual tests. This patch series makes it also build an executable for winetest.]
There's a reason for that. Tests are very limited in what they are allowed to use from Wine, but programs aren't. In particular you can't use any of the portability routines or configure check for cross builds. You really need a separate build tree to cross-compile programs. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

I noticed that most programs don't work, but winetest is a special case and it shouldn't need winelib. I opted to write a generic rule for that, but this doesn't affect programs that cannot be built like this, as those targets are not used (unless you run them manually). I think it is very useful to be able to compile winetest by using make crosstest, and the fact that notepad also works is just a bonus (you would have to do make notepad_cross.exe manually anyway). Would a specific rule (just for winetest) be better? Octavian

No, it won't work anyway. You'd need to duplicate all the rules for the test resources too, and I don't want to have to make the build process even more of a mess. The existing crosstest hacks are already bad enough. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

I guess I didn't think of that -- the .res files I used have the normal tests, not the cross-built ones. Sorry for the noise. Octavian
