tinc devel - Aug 2015 - Cross-compiling tinc 1.1 for Windows

aw, sorry about the format, next try:

Hi all,
 
I've been using tinc for quite some time and I would like to test the latest
1.1 branch.
Unfortunately, I was unable to cross-compile tinc on Ubuntu with mingw64 for
Windows.
 
The instructions Guus provided for tinc 1.0
(http://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/cross-compiling-64-bit-windows-binary/ ) are
missing packages required for tinc 1.1, e.g.: zlib and ncurses.
I tried downloading the ncurses sources and cross-compile them myself with no
luck so far..
 
Did anyone succeed in cross-compiling tinc 1.1?
Guus, could you share the setup you are using for creating the binaries with us?
 
 
Thank you and best regards,
 
Daniel

Yes, getting ncurses to work on Windows can be tricky. I think I did
manage to link tinc against a precompiled version of PDcurses. But if it
doesn't work, just add --disable-curses to ./configure to disable
support for the curses library. You'll probably also want to
--disable-readline then.
