gdk-pixbuf-2.40.0 Build Errors - users - Fedora mailing-lists

28 Apr 2020


      GentlePeople:
I am trying to build gdk-pixbuf-2.40.0 out of the box.
The directions require the use of meson and ninja, my first
experience with both!
I am on a Fedora 30 X86 Host, and I want to cross compile to i686 
for Windows.
I am using the cross tools provided by the Fedora distribution 
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.
The i686-w64-mingw32 cross compiler dose work on Hello.c, independant of 
meson's
opinion shown below.
The Error Messages, Cross File, and Error Log File are presented below:
Q1) Why dose meson say "Is cross compiler: False."?
Q2) Why dose the sanity check fail?
Q3) Please show me the correct Cross File for Cross Compiling to i686 
Windows
and X86 Windows. I am suffering from google whiplash from internet searching
issue and multiple opinions.
Q4) Why meson why not configure make?
