Hello Leif and Linraders.

I have just done what you requested:

I have installed under my debian box the following packages:


mingw32
mingw32-binutils
mingw32-runtime

I have read the following link with a quick tutorial:

http://www.mingw.org/docs.shtml


Create a directory for your proyect, go inside and create your source
*.c files:

I have tried this example code for a console application:

/* hello.c console test program */
#include <stdio.h>

   int main(int argc, char **argv)
   {
      printf ("Hello\n");
      return (0);
   }


To compile it, just issue this command ( note that the gcc compiler is
renamed to avoid issues with the real gcc compiler in the Debian system):

$i586-mingw32msvc-gcc hello.c -o hello.exe

I have tested it under "wine" and works:

Also tested this graphical program:


/* hellographic.c test program */
#include <windows.h>

   int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance,
                        HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                        PSTR szCmdLine,
                        int iCmdShow)
   {
      MessageBox (NULL, "Hello", "Hello Demo", MB_OK);
      return (0);
   }


Compiled the same way:

$i586-mingw32msvc-gcc hellographic.c -o hellographic.exe -mwindows

It creates a little executable file. I have executed it and shows a
beautiful little window and a button.

Hope this helps as an starting point.

73, Ramiro.
