Re: [Vala] [Genie] Build for windows under linux. Using minwg.

Hi Gontzal, 

You are welcome. Cross-compiling has always been an hassle, regardless of 
the language and framework ; I personally consider it is not worth it if you 
are not dealing with a very large application needing continuous 
integration. 

Anyway, you may already be familiar with some posts I wrote on the subject : 

http://www.tarnyko.net/en/?q=node/15 

This should get the basics working, though the complexity rapidly explodes 
with any library you add. Especially GStreamer, which involves lots of 
modules and plugins installed in specific locations. 

Regards,
Tarnyko
