cross-compiling for ARM

[John Connor]

Has anyone tried to cross-compile Wine for the ARM platform or is there
any documentation on how to do this?

I have but its been a day or two. You need two trees and to first build the Wine tools for your
host platform and something like the following

cd /usr/src/wine-tools

./configure
make tools

then in another tree

cd /usr/src/wine
./configure --build=armv4 --with-wine-tools=/usr/src/wine-tools

Note there is no support for arm in Wineserver, kernel32 or ntdll so winelib won't run yet. Most
everything else should compile as Winelib works on i386, PPC and SPARC. You might be able to get
by stubbing the set_thread_context stuff out for simple apps.

Thanks
Steven
