0f9f4761ad9c updated for version 7.0216 vimboss parents: 605 diff changeset	397 your Linux (or other unix) box. To do this, you need to follow a few steps:
0f9f4761ad9c updated for version 7.0216 vimboss parents: 605 diff changeset	398 1) Install the mingw32 cross-compiler. See

6326 112c80234ce3 updated for version 7.4.496 Bram Moolenaar <bram@vim.org> parents: 6149 diff changeset	402 3) in 'Make_cyg_ming.mak', set 'CROSS' to 'yes' instead of 'no'.
112c80234ce3 updated for version 7.4.496 Bram Moolenaar <bram@vim.org> parents: 6149 diff changeset	403 Make further changes to 'Make_cyg_ming.mak' and 'Make_ming.mak' as you
112c80234ce3 updated for version 7.4.496 Bram Moolenaar <bram@vim.org> parents: 6149 diff changeset	404 wish. If your cross-compiler prefix differs from the predefined value,
2035 ca7d02cd5e49 Minor text file updates. Bram Moolenaar <bram@zimbu.org> parents: 1668 diff changeset	405 set 'CROSS_COMPILE' corresponding.
