Meson crosscompilation / Linux -> win64

[sechshelme]

Is it possible to build a win64 application from a package created with meson from Linux 64bit?

For packages created with cmake, this works like this:

$cmake -S ../SDL/ -B . -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc" -DCMAKE_RC_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH="/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE="BOTH" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY="ONLY" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM="BOTH" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME="Windows" --install-prefix ~/SDL_win64_DLL

Or is this only possible later with ninja?

This is possible by setting up a mingw cross compiler. the documentation on how to do that is here: https://mesonbuild.com/Cross-compilation.html
