For Linux it is easy, but I can't figure it out for Windows.

Â The great thing about mingw-cross-env is that the whole crossbuild environment gets set up automatically with a makefile-based system. Â If you install it at /opt/mingw-cross-env, the scripts I've included in the tuxtype git repository should work without modification.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Tuxmath is a little harder for the moment because we use our t4k_common library, which isn't yet in the default mingw-cross-env collection. Â The mingw-cross-env maintainer has told me he would be happy to include t4k_common once we think it is "ready" enough.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd really be interested in any feedback about developers' experiences with the mingw-cross-env-based crossbuild, because I want to get it to the point where it is extremely simple, automated, and "just works".</div>
