BUILDING RIVWEBCAPI FOR WINDOWS USING MINGW64
---------------------------------------------

To build the Rivendell Web C API client library for Windows using
the MingW64 cross-compiler environment, proceed as follows:

1) Ensure that the necessary MingW64 packages are installed. On RHEL-7,
this can be accomplished with the following command (as 'root'):

*** snip snip ***
yum install mingw32-pkg-config mingw32-headers mingw-binutils-generic mingw32-libtiff mingw32-qt mingw32-sqlite-static mingw32-qt-static mingw32-pixman mingw32-gettext mingw32-libogg mingw32-openssl mingw32-libmad mingw-filesystem-base mingw32-crt mingw32-zlib mingw32-libjpeg-turbo mingw32-expat mingw32-qt-qmake mingw32-binutils mingw32-gcc-c++ mingw32-dbus mingw32-sqlite mingw32-zlib-static mingw32-libtiff-static mingw32-libpng-static mingw32-libjpeg-turbo-static mingw32-bzip2 mingw32-fontconfig mingw32-win-iconv mingw32-termcap mingw32-glib2 mingw32-cairo-static mingw32-libsamplerate mingw32-libvorbis mingw32-libltdl mingw32-libssh2 mingw32-curl mingw32-filesystem mingw32-winpthreads mingw32-cpp mingw32-gcc mingw32-libpng mingw32-dbus-static mingw32-winpthreads-static mingw32-freetype mingw32-libffi mingw32-cairo mingw32-libsndfile mingw32-opus mingw32-libidn mingw32-nsis

2) Define the following variables in your build environment:

export MINGW32_SYS_ROOT=/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$MINGW32_SYS_ROOT/lib/pkgconfig
export CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
export CXX=i686-w64-mingw32-g++
export WINDRES=i686-w64-mingw32-windres
export RANLIB=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-ranlib


3) cd to 'apis/rivwebcapi/' in the Rivendell sources and do:

   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure --prefix=$MINGW32_SYS_ROOT --i686-w64-mingw32
   make
   make install (as root)
