I'm using the mingw32 cross compiler. A Google search for that term
should help.

I found this: http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/~cottrell/cross-gtk/

It is a little out of date, since it describes a method where you change
the CC environment variable to point at the cross compiler.

With recent GNU autotools, you can just configure with flags such as:

host=i586-mingw32msvc
build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS='-O3 -s -mms-bitfields -march=i686'
CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS

(Or similar).

You need the -mms-bitfields, and if you want to get rid of the console
window on your app (after debugging probably), add -mwindows to the
CFLAGS.


I'm not doing this directly, I'm using a set of scripts and recipes
written by a collegue in the gEDA project to fetch and build all our
prerequisites (including GTK) from source.

Hope that helps get you started.
