Hi all-

I tried fooling with wine with cygwin and msys2. I'd like to be able to use cygwin or msys2 full version. I couldn't get either to work on wine.

I am now going to try and see if I can install theIDE with mingw on wine. Note: I don't see mingw listed anymore in the U++ downloads section with a version pre-bundled with mingw.

They have in my package manager for Ubuntu cross compiling stuff.

Hi again- I am missing this file. mingw32-make.exe

If I can't get mingw to work on wine, that file missing is a show stopper because I can't make the macro to cross compile, and I don't see that environment in the download section anymore.

Anywho.. if I have to at some point down the road I will get a copy of windows.

PS I will have to check out this (thnx):

Upp supports cross-compilation now. It is much better than wine.
Wine is extremely buggy. I personally couldn't make GIT work in wine.
I'd recommend you to install clang-based cross-compiler (https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw) and create a new build method.
I've attached my own bm-file.
This is all what you need to do.
Hope this helps.
