Re: Linux -> win32 cross-compile

[Robbert Haarman <rhaarman ucdavis edu>]

Well, I got good news and bad news. I got my hello.c to compile (mingw 
needs the libraries _after_ the object file, I had them before). That's 
the good news. The bad news is that running it under wine gives the 
following error:

Gtk-ERROR **: Incompatible build!
The code using GTK+ thinks GtkBox is of different
size than it actually is in this build of GTK+.
On Windows, this probably means that you have compiled
your code with gcc without the -fnative-struct switch,
or that you are using an unsupported compiler.
aborting...

I added the -fnative-struct switch, but to no avail. I haven't tested 
the program on a real Windows box yet (I don't have one), but it seems 
unlikely that it will work there. Any hints? I tried a Google search for 
the error, but that didn't get me any further. Anyway, I think I have 
gathered enough material for a mini-HOWTO now. :-/

Cheers,

Bob
