Describe cross-compilation with MXE

Browse Source 
MXE is really a great project: It provides a cross-compilation environment
for compiling windows binaries using mingw from any unix system, and includes
lots of prepackaged libraries. The latter distinguishes it from the mingw
cross-compilers packaged with some linux distros such as debian.

I was even able to run the resulting lyx.exe using wine!

Cross-Compiling on unix with MXE using autotools
=================================================
1 Install MXE: http://mxe.cc
You can either install from sources, the generic .tar binaries or debian .deb packages.
Installing the following .deb packages will drag in all needed dependencies:
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-file
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-gcc
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-libiconv
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtimageformats
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtsvg
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtwinextras
Of course you can also use the static and/or 32bit versions.
2 Run the standard autotools install (Adapt paths and arguments accordingly)
./autogen.sh
mkdir builddir-mingw
cd builddir-mingw
PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" ../configure --host=x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/qt5 --enable-qt5 --with-included-boost --with-included-hunspell --with-included-mythes --disable-debug --enable-optimization --prefix=/mingw64
PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" make
PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" DESTDIR=/tmp/lyxinstall make install
This uses the paths from the 64bit shared MXE version installed from .deb packages.
3 If you want to run the resulting lyx.exe from the build directory using wine,
create symlinks for all needed .dlls:
cd builddir-mingw/src
ln -s /usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/bin/*.dll .
ln -s /usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/qt5/bin/*.dll .
wine64 lyx.exe
