Cross compilation
Cross compilation is supported for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD.
To cross compile your project simply run:
v -os windows .
or
v -os linux .
or
v -os freebsd .
[!NOTE]
Cross-compiling a Windows binary on a Linux machine requires the GNU C compiler for
MinGW-w64 (targeting Win64) to first be installed.
For Ubuntu/Debian based distributions:
sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64
For Arch based distributions:
sudo pacman -S mingw-w64-gcc
(Cross compiling for macOS is temporarily not possible.)
If you don't have any C dependencies, that's all you need to do. This works even
when compiling GUI apps using the ui
module or graphical apps using gg
.
You will need to install Clang, LLD linker, and download a zip file with
libraries and include files for Windows and Linux. V will provide you with a link.
