Yes, I gathered from Bugzilla all the info I found before starting, also because I did not want to start in the first place. In the bug I attached a patch to use an external launcher via enviornmental variables, similar to what done for ARM with qemu. The tricky part is to get a wine wrapper that is *not* interactive... something not obvious but possible: https://github.com/ntd/aur-fedora-mingw/blob/master/afm-mingw-w64-gobject-introspection/winewrapper If relevant I can attach to the bug report that wrapper too. > There are other issues about portability, though, especially related > to per-platform constants and functions; the introspection scanner > will currently drop re-defined symbols — see bug: > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696935 Cross-building from Linux makes use of / as directory separator, so I did not meet that problem. In my first (failed) attempt to build everything for the host I had directory separator problems though, as witnessed by some of the patches I submitted. > > AFAIK Fedora already has something similar for their fedora-mingw > > port.

Ah ok, I assumed Fedora was already owning such build system.
