New blog

I finally got sick of blogspot's inability to handle basic editing tasks, and moved to a new blog on wordpress.

Talk: Using the Fedora Windows cross-compiler






Date:Sunday, 8th March 2009
Time: 18:15 UTC
Location: Virtual -- #fedora-classroom on irc.freenode.net
Details: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom#The_Current_Timeline
Background: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Windows_cross_compiler

A talk and interactive session, "Using the Windows cross-compiler":
  • API basics: POSIX, libc, Win32, gtk, Qt, etc.

  • Cross-compiler basics

  • Practical demonstration:
    setting up the cross-compiler in Fedora
    compiling a small Gtk program
    testing it in Wine
    building a Windows installer

  • Future directions (Win64, Mac OS X ?)

  • How to get involved

If you have root access to a Fedora 10 or rawhide install (i386 or x86-64 only) you can follow along with the practical part.
