 :: hi, so all you need is an provoking script that initialize that file/set var as a standalone?  And then it should be straightforward to adopt for the supper build? Then what happens to this project, is this just an exercise for cross-compiling FG? Or merely an extension to the Super build like d&c currently -- [[User:Hamzaalloush|Hamzaalloush]] ([[User talk:Hamzaalloush|talk]]) 11:39, 29 May 2015 (EDT)
+: even "just" *.mk based cross compilation would be useful already - however, it would obviously be platform specific, while the Superbuild is pretty much guaranteed to stay around, and to be maintained in the future - i.e. due to it not being specific to any single platform/os or compiler, and due to it being used by the Jenkins build server. All the dependencies would still need to build/work correctly - so I guess it would be more difficult to use/adapt the Superbuild directly. Once mxe is able to build FG and all deps using *.mk files, we should strive to review all necessary additions/patches and try to get those merged upstream (mxe, sg, fg etc) - the Superbuild would be nice to support because that would mean that mxe-based cross compilation would be handled by the same front-end. But even just having a handful of *.mk files would be very useful, i.e. to provide FG/osgEarth binaries to Windows-based end users.--[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 12:35, 29 May 2015 (EDT)
