Poulpy has a single goal: to allow programmers to build their programs for Windows from their Linux box. It builds DLLs from the sources with a cross-compiler (mingw32) and you can use these libraries to build a Windows application.

Event if this version is called 0.1 it has served me for the past few months to build GStreamer and a bunch of its dependencies.

What now ? If you are using Ubuntu (32 bits), the 0.1 version will work like a charm. If it’s not the case, be prepared to temper with the scripts (some hints are given in the manual).

The development will continue around 3 points:

• Add support for more libraries (GTK+, codecs)
• Consolidate the build system: build a cross-compiler instead of relying on an existing one, build autoconf & automake not to depend on the distribution’s ones, …
• Better GStreamer libs and more GStreamer plugins for Windows.

For further details, there is a minimal manual, and a download area. You might want to have a look at Poulpy’s git repository or its TODO list.

Stay tuned !
