<div>I had little trouble getting Git working in Windows 7. IIRC, I used msysgit with TortoiseGit. This was last summer, and the support was significantly more mature than it had been a year prior, so it can only have improved by now. </div>
<div><br></div><div>TuxMath should theoretically be buildable in Windows using CMake, but because of the complexity added by libt4k_common, this might be more difficult than just cross-compiling. TuxType doesn't have a CMake build chain, so while it might be possible to force it to build with autotools under MinGW, cross-compiling is almost certainly less trouble. <br>

For Linux it is easy, but I can't figure it out for Windows. I tried cross compiling in Linux for both platforms as outlined in the readme for older versions of TuxType, but I couldn't get it to work with version 1.8. I will try again this weekend.<br>

The great thing about mingw-cross-env is that the whole crossbuild environment gets set up automatically with a makefile-based system. 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. 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>
