Getting into the spirit of things... crosstest

[Misha Koshelev]

Dear All:

As I am waiting for my wine GIT to compile, I have noticed that the
following link no longer works:
http://mirzam.it.vu.nl/mingw/

(from
http://www.winehq.org/docs/winedev-guide/cross-compiling-tests
for the MINGW WIN32API RPMS)

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and will first:
i) try stock MINGW
ii) then try to figure it out myself from sources if necessary

but if there are any other tips much appreciated.

Thank you
Misha

The documentation is outdated. Wine no longer uses mingw importlibs (and 
uses its own instead), so you can install regular mingw package for your 
Linux distribution instead.

Page info is outdated probably. I don't have any problems with Debian 5 
package, as well as I didn't while was using Debian 4.
One problem I got was a libuuid a test was linked to. Now there's no 
tests which import it, and newly added tests should go in without linking
to this lib.
