# Sample toolchain file for building for Windows from an Arch Linux system.
#
# Typical usage:
#    1) install cross compiler: `sudo pacman -S mingw32-gcc`
#    2) cp cmake/Toolchain-Arch-mingw32.cmake.sample ~/Toolchain-Arch-mingw32.cmake
#    3) tweak toolchain values as needed
#    4) cd build
#    5) cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/Toolchain-Arch-mingw32.cmake ..

# name of the target OS on which the built artifacts will run
# and the toolchain prefix
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Windows)
set(TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX i486-mingw32)

# cross compilers to use for C and C++
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER ${TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}-gcc)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER ${TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}-g++)
set(CMAKE_RC_COMPILER ${TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}-windres)

# target environment on the build host system
#   set 1st to dir with the cross compiler's C/C++ headers/libs
#   set 2nd to dir containing personal cross development headers/libs
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH /usr/${TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX} ~/crossdev/w32)

# modify default behavior of FIND_XXX() commands to
# search for headers/libs in the target environment and
# search for programs in the build host environment
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)
