Cross-compile from MacOs to Win64/Linux64? was created by Premysl Beran
Hi Sternas,

I used to cross-compile my project from Win to Linux without any issue. Lately, I also had to deal with Mac. So I installed CT on Mac and compiled my project for Mac. All works quite fine.

I wanted to test if I can compile on Mac the executable for Win64 to not need to switch to Windows all the time. As there is no toolchain for this, I wanted to create one using ToolChainBuilder. I selected CPU-OS target as x86_64-win64. But the build finished with error (see below). What I'm doing wrong? Thanks for the help.

The toolchain for X86_64-linux was created correctly. But when I tried to build cross elements for that I got a message (below). It says that "gmake[2]: x86_64-linux-as: Not found". But I found it in the CT/binTollchains/mac64-x86_64-linux directory. What can be wrong in this procedure of cross-compiling? Thanks for the help.

With best regards

Premek

Cross-build Toolchains are from GNU C/C++ programming galaxy
For MacOS x86_64-win64 Toolchain NOT Exists

For GNU binutils version 2.33.1 (CT 7.00) and Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.16) MacOS Catalina
Exists
x86_64-w64-mingw32
i686-w32-mingw32

So for MacOS64 to Win64 you must
a) Build x86_64-w64-mingw32 toolchain
b) Rename x86_64-w64-mingw32 folder to x86_64-win64
b) Rename ALL executables to x86_64-win64-xxx

For MacOS64 to Win32 you must
a) Build i686-w32-mingw32 toolchain
b) Rename i686-w32-mingw32 folder to i386-win32
b) Rename ALL executables to i386-win32-xxx

We upload win32 and win64 Toolchains for MacOS64 to our
Toolchains Server

and we build more now...
with GNU binutils version 2.33.1 (CT 7.00) and
Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.16) on MacOS 10.15.2 Catalina

Sir,

Thank you for the info. After I update to Catalina, I will definitely try. You are right that Cross-tool chains are something really unique and very very helpful. Thanks for your nice work and support.

And any comment to MacOS to Linux error? The compiler complaining that executable doesn't exist, but it is there. Some link problem, or so?

With best regards
