I prefer compiling the windows executable with mingw on linux too.
How do you go about crosscompiling the tests? I have managed to do "hello world" style programs with cross-mingw, but to compile the Wine tests I don't know how to do...
When I try to compile a slightly modified dlls/kernel/tests/file.c
I get this:
jakov@black:/tmp> jakov@black:/tmp> i586-mingw32msvc-gcc file.c /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mingw32msvc/2.95.3-7/../../../../i586-mingw32msvc/lib/libmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x8f): undefined reference to `WinMain@16'
I assume there is something evil about the 16 bit API file.c is testing. *shrug*
(I guess somewhere in here the project of keeping mingw, ReactOS and Wine headers in sync come into play... BTW I've noticed the ReactOS people seem to feel a little ignored by Wine.)
