Hello,

the new efforts for an out-of-the-box msvc build also help cross
compiling. Here's a brief rundown that worked on my ubuntu box, on
other distros ymmv.

(1) Install mingw32, mingw32-binutils, mingw32-runtime
(2) Check out "abiword" and ""abiword-msvc2008"
(3) Create a smlink from /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw to
    your abiword-msvc2008/Prefix
(4) From [1] get the following packages and extract them under
    "/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw": libwmf, freetype, libjpeg,
    gettext-runtime, gettext-tools (also get the -devel packages)
(5) "source mingw-env.sh" (attached)
(6) in "abiword" run "./autogen.sh --target=i586-mingw32msvc && make"

I did not try anything related to plugins.

PS: Marc, please add the required extra packages to the msvc tree.

Best,
Rob
