: 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)

ok Hooray, i'll probably do a miniture adoption of building a small package with mingw64 using the requirements learned from $(MXE_CONFIGURE_OPTS) in the superbuild, do you have any progress? i'm looking for something to do meanwhile saiarcot895 are building for Flightgear static. -- [[User:Hamzaalloush|Hamzaalloush]] ([[User talk:Hamzaalloush|talk]]) 20:44, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
