libffi - Windows builds

Thu Jan 16 02:52:00 GMT 2003

Hi,
How often does libffi change ?
As far as I can see it doesn't seem to change very often, which would
be good for people wanting to cross build on Windows because with just
a couple of pre-prepared libffi files and tiny tweaks it is possible to
do a complete GCJ/MINGW cross-build on Cygwin from the ground up without
any problems...
If libffi is as static as I think it is I'll release the build instructions
and patches in the next day or two... This will mean that all the exclusively
Windows guys should be able to test patches without any problems...
All this applies to Windows 2k... I haven't tried it on 98 yet.
Although it is all so much faster and easier under Linux... 8-)
Cheers
