+ +Get a copy of the MinGW compiler and all +its associated tools that run under Linux. No binary versions of +MinGW in this configuration are available for net downloads, as far +as I know. You will probably have to download the source code and +compile it all yourself. +A separate bulletin describes how this +can be done. +When you are done, make sure the compiler and all its associated tools +are located somewhere on your PATH environment variable. +
++Download the Win32 port of GDBM from +Roth Consulting. You can FTP a ZIP archive of the sources directly +from +ftp://ftp.roth.net/pub/ntperl/gdbm/source/Win32_GDBM_Source.zip. +
+Make a directory and unpack the Win32 port of GDBM.
+++mkdir roth +cd roth +unzip ../Win32_GDBM_Source.zip +
Manually build the GDBM library as follows:
+++i386-mingw32-gcc -DWIN32=1 -O2 -c *.c +i386-mingw32-ar cr libgdbm.a *.o +i386-mingw32-ranlib libgdbm.a +cd .. +
+Download the SQLite tarball from + +http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/sqlite.tar.gz. +Unpack the tarball and create a separate directory in which +to build the executable and library. +
+++tar xzf sqlite.tar.gz +mkdir sqlite-bld +cd sqlite-bld +
+Create a "hints" file that will tell the SQLite configuration script +to use the MinGW cross-compiler rather than the native linux compiler. +The hints file should looks something like this:
+++cat >mingw.hints <<\END + config_TARGET_CC=i386-mingw32-gcc + config_TARGET_CFLAGS='-O2' + config_TARGET_GDBM_LIBS=../roth/libgdbm.a + config_TARGET_GDBM_INC=-I../roth + config_TARGET_AR='i386-mingw32-ar cr' + config_TARGET_RANLIB=i386-mingw32-ranlib + config_TARGET_EXEEXT='.exe' +END +
Configure and build SQLite:
+++../sqlite/configure --with-hints=./mingw.hints +make +

+++mkdir ~/mingw/bld +
Configure and build binutils and add the results to your PATH.

+++mkdir /opt/mingw/i386-mingw32/include +cd ~/mingw/src/mingw-runtime*/mingw/include +cp -r * /opt/mingw/i386-mingw32/include +
