Title: Cross-compiling bitcoin windows binaries on linux
Post by: smeagol on April 27, 2015, 12:43:04 AM
I've been looking around, but I can't find any recent resources on how to cross-compile bitcoind and bitcoin-qt on Linux for the Windows platform.  Do you guys know of how that could be done?

Thanks.

I've done "cross-compiling" where I was on an amd64 (for example) and was compiling for arm7, ie, different architectures.  Is what you're asking about still called "cross-compling"?  It seems like you're going to need all the windows libraries (dlls?), etc.
