Hi!

I'd say it's rather easy! It depends on the Linux distribution you are
using. I'm using debian and just downloaded all mingw32 cross compiler
packages. Then I compiled all libraries that I needed (SDL, paragui,
libsigc++) with the cross compiler i586-mingw32msvc-g++. This built the
*.a files. Then I compiled my game (www.freelords.org) with the cross
compiler and it was done.

If you don't have the mingw32 cross compiler packages for your
distribution you can get it from the web.

I tried the same thing with the Win32 native mingw32 compiler and didn't
even suceed easily in getting ParaGUI to compile. With tricks I had been
able todo that, but libsigc++ was completely out of control...

Have fun,
