Hi, i would like to crosscompile c++/opengl project on a linux system to an executable windows programm. the only thing i found until now is mingw.... on the webside is a litlte example how to use, but my project contains some more classes than one and i don't know how to compile that....thnx for any help

You'd do the same thing to build a cross-compiled program with multiple source files, than you would with a native compile with multiple sources.

However, I generally don't see the point of cross-compiling Linux-Windows (or vice versa), because you need to be running both anyway to test, so why not compile?

I suppose your build system could be Linux-specific (mine usually is, but only to build platform-independent data). But that would be awkward for other developers wanting to do native Windows builds.

There's always testing with Wine. That, and other users.

I set up a document here to show how to do this, and set up wxwidgets, sdl and opengl. Other libraries can be added easily enough once you understand that doc.
