Building Windows Binaries

[nathanshearer]

I am trying to build some windows binaries of nbdkit as I have some files on a windows host that I need to exporte as nbd block devices to another system.

I first attempted to configure and build nbdkit under cygwin with these packages installed on a windows 10 computer:

• automake 11-1
• gcc-core 10.2.0-1
• gcc-g++ 10.2.0-1
• libtool 2.4.6-7
• make 4.3-1
• pkg-config 1.6.3-1

The autoconf and configure steps work fine, however it fails during the make step due to some compile-time bugs in the code relating to conflicting definitions in some included headers.

Can you please include some more detail on how to cross-compile windows binaries of nbdkit, on a linux host. I assume your document is referring to debian/ubuntu? If you used a different distro please include that too as it will help me reproduce the process.
