Extremely timely for me, as I am trying to build Telepathy framework
for windows. Its all portable C, but woven hard into autotools and
other assumptions, its a bit tedious to have to boot into windows then
massage it into Cmake. This would literally be a massive time saver.
You have my support and love.
What can I do to help out?
I had a brief look -- Telepathy framework looks big and complicated.
The fact it uses autoconf is good from a cross-compiling point of
view. In many cases you should be able to do:
# yum install mingw32-{any libraries required}
$ mingw32-configure
$ make
The big question is what libraries / dependencies it has, especially
any dependencies which are not currently in the Fedora MinGW project.
If you get any build problems, post them here and we can take a look.
We also have an IRC channel - #fedora-mingw on FreeNode.
