Re: Compiling for Win32

Hi! Thanks Sander. I still would like to do it with mingw, because it produces native Windows32 programs that do not rely on any 3rd-party DLLs. I am having this problem when I am running ./configure: checking whether to enable WDDX support... no checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... configure: error: can not run test program while cross compiling Maybe someone can help, please. Thanks in advance.
