This is mainly a note to myself. Maybe it’s useful for you too.

Actually building cross-compiler toolchains using crossdev is easy, but there are some pitfalls.

  • Remove any compiler environment variables before building, or the build will fail
  • For building MinGW toolchains the openmp useflag must not be set
  • If you have built already a toolchain partially with wrong settings, remove it completely before trying it again

Simple Build Instructions for building mingw32 and gdb:

# become root
su
# clear env (clearing CXX should not be necessary, but it doesn't hurt)
export CC=
export CXX=
export CFLAGS=
export CXXFLAGS=
export LDFLAGS=
# build using crossdev
crossdev --ex-gdb -t i686-pc-mingw32`

For 64bit toolchain use x86_64-w64-mingw32 instead of i686-pc-mingw32.

Uninstall: crossdev -C i686-pc-mingw32
