I have been using a socket library for C++. Some other info: 32 bit Linux, Codelite and GCC toolset. I want to be able to compile my program for Windows using the windows edition of Codelite. The socket library I have been using doesn’t have a mingw32 build of the library, but it’s open source. So how can I make a mingw32 build of the socket library so I can make a windows build using the source provided?
You port it to the new platform. 🙂
You’re fortunate that it is opensource, because then it would be practically impossible to port it (You’d have to pay $$$’s to get a copy of the code for a particular license, or rewrite the entire product).
Enjoy.
Alternatively, they may well already have a port… Check the documentation for the library you are using.
