Crosscompile addon for Windows on Linux - rbuehlma - 2016-08-26

Hi all,

as far as I know, it is possible to cross compile the addons for Windows on Linux. As this is my first trial to cross compile anything, could you help me out with the steps required? Are there configure flags I need to set when building the toolchain? Do I need to cross compile Kodi itself?

Thanks

Not possible, since you'd have to cross compile kodi itself as well

Does "not possible" mean that kodi cannot be cross compiled for windows? If kodi can be, is there a guide for this or what are the steps required?

it might theoretically be possible to cross compile kodi for windows from linux. That said, I'd take you A LOT of time to get working, even if you are a master at this stuff. I'm pretty sure no kodi dev ever even thought about doing that.

Needless to say, no guide, no support at all.
