Hi,

How to compile a U++ code on Windows to run on Linux?
If there is, is there a description on the website of how to do it?
( For example, in my country, users of the Lazarus language (IDE) compile it on Windows to run it on Linux

Thanks!

Hi Novo,

You mean from within TheIDE using clang? Would you like to share the details on how to do that, maybe even bm file(s)?

Best regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I use llvm-mingw.
I use llvm-mingw with umk to compile with a buildbot service in my homelab and with TheIDE to compile on desktop.
Below is a bm file from the buildbot service.

BUILDER = "CLANG";
COMPILER = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang++";
COMMON_OPTIONS = "";
COMMON_CPP_OPTIONS = "-Wall -Wno-logical-op-parentheses -std=c++17";

COMMON_FLAGS = "WIN32";

DEBUG_BLITZ = "1";
DEBUG_LINKMODE = "1";
DEBUG_OPTIONS = "-O0";
DEBUG_FLAGS = "";
DEBUG_LINK = "";
RELEASE_BLITZ = "1";
RELEASE_LINKMODE = "1";
RELEASE_OPTIONS = "-O3 -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections";
RELEASE_FLAGS = "";
RELEASE_LINK = "-Wl,--gc-sections";

I wrote a tiny tool to generate bm files for all configurations I use.

It's unfortunate that Linux Mint does not have a package for llvm-mingw... so it takes a bit more effort to get it going.

There is also a Mac OS X cross toolchain for Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD called osxcross.
I tried to set it up several years ago but haven't finished the project.
