Newbie - simple linux-> win 32 cross-compiler : build fails ?

[Pieter Thysebaert]

Hi, in an attempt to create a linux-hosted linux to win32 cross-compiler 
(which I presumed would be an "easy" cross-compiler to build), I've done the 
following:


I downloaded binutils 2.11.2

and did ./configure --target=i386-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/cross2win32
            make all
            make install

That went without errors.

I also tried this with gcc-2.95.3 :
          ./configure --target=i386-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/cross2win32

However, in this case, make all fails with

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pthyseba/cross/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/intl'

I looked through the mailing list (this mailing list) archives and found out 
about someone having the same errors on a linux-to-solaris build

So I added (solution found someoen else's response to the solaris thing) 
--with-headers=/usr/include to the ./configure (of gcc 2.95.3)

That gets it a little further, but eventually it fails with ?

Well that's what has stopped me for now.

Does anyone have a brilliant idea (or can point me to some howto that 
explains what will make it work) ?
