OK, so I had to get myself a cross toolkit to compile SMART for Windows x86 - I know others have done it and it's pretty simple on Debian/Ubuntu (You emerge some mingw package iirc, I did it on ubuntu before)
Anyway, I don't use Debian; I mainly use Gentoo, which has crossdev. And it's awesome.
Really, I never expected it to be that nice. I still haven't toyed around with it that much, but still. I just wanted to let some of you guys know.
Usage is simple; http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml
You install it; set up an overlay (basically just create a folder and set and env variably in /etc/make.conf) and run crossdev i686-mingw32 (we can also use other architectures - I am not 100% sure if they will all work, but I just want x86+windows now)
It will then just build the full tool chain - and it works too. Admittedly I haven't toyed around with it that much yet, but it seems to work fine…
I realise most of you won't care, but perhaps the ones who do actually have to do quite some cross compiling will care. (mopar, perhaps) :)
I'm going to try it on my ARM sheevaplug soon, I think.
E: It did pick GCC 4.5 though, which is as far as I know not extremely well tested.
