:: it definitely is a good idea, but looking at the two CMakeLists.txt in SG/FG, those 3rd party deps are there mainly for those systems not providing "system-wide" versions of those - so we could just as well review existing mxe *.mk files and directly add support for the equivalent libs to mxe, to ensure that there both options are provided. As far as I understand, system-libs would be chosen by default on *nix platforms anyway, so we could just as well ignore 3rd party deps when doing cross-compilation, by simply using the corresponding mxe equivalents for those. Overall, I think that "3rdparty.zip" is a workaround addressing shortcomings in the Windows build process - so if it is easier to directly build the proper packages as part of mxe, I would consider doing that instead, as it feels more "natural" to me. --[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 15:33, 28 May 2015 (EDT) | :: it definitely is a good idea, but looking at the two CMakeLists.txt in SG/FG, those 3rd party deps are there mainly for those systems not providing "system-wide" versions of those - so we could just as well review existing mxe *.mk files and directly add support for the equivalent libs to mxe, to ensure that there both options are provided.

::: certainly this was my thought process recently too. as FG is known to compile against development version of those. so i will leave them as is, and probably even remove that objective from the roadmap. it makes sense to continue unless we have problems. -- [[User:Hamzaalloush|Hamzaalloush]] ([[User talk:Hamzaalloush|talk]]) 16:28, 28 May 2015 (EDT) | |||
