as far as I know, mxe should be quite able to only build those dependencies that are needed for FG - i.e. plib/openal/simgear/osg which should in turn pick up their own dependencies automatically. So it's mainly a matter of making sure that dependency resolution is working correctly. If you are really referring to the underlying tool chain and not just dependencies, I am not sure what might be optional ? But I guess it would make sense to come up with 2-3 *.mk files for the main FG dependencies, so that the a corresponding build environment can be automatically created by the mxe installer, and which can be used by the [[Superbuild]] afterwards. --[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 13:55, 23 May 2015 (EDT) | as far as I know, mxe should be quite able to only build those dependencies that are needed for FG - i.e. plib/openal/simgear/osg which should in turn pick up their own dependencies automatically.

:: as i experienced this works very well(95% of the time, MXE pulls only required packages), but due to some packages that introduce dependency bloat, such as for instance OSG compiles with ffmpeg(we don't need this), so this nice package pulls all the audio tools such as x264, flac encoders etc. we can minimize this in our fork, such that ffmpeg is disabled completley, further elimination of a dozen packages consisting of only encoders built for ffmpeg, i'm sure i can find other examples like this as well. FG main dependancies such as simgear will be included in the 'requirements' for fgfs.mk, so whenever you call 'make fgfs' it builds it. for the [[Superbuild]], i'm thinking an extra automation step is required preferably by a script in $(MXE_ROOT)/tools that copies all the dll's and binaries to the expected [[Building_using_CMake_-_Windows#Directory_tree]]. -- [[User:Hamzaalloush|Hamzaalloush]] ([[User talk:Hamzaalloush|talk]]) 16:40, 23 May 2015 (EDT) | |||
