[CWB] Cross-compiling

[Hardie, Andrew]

Very interesting -- I must confess that the last time I cross-compiled at all it *very nearly* didn't work due to changes in prerequisites since I wrote the instructions. I'm determined to redo the procedure in future using mingw_w64 instead of original flavour mingw32, and if possible also work out instructions for building natively on Windows. Never enough time, alas...

best

Andrew.

Dear colleagues,

after hours of pain, I think I managed to cross-compile a 64 bit Windows
version of the CWB.  If you are interested, this is where you can get
the result:

Feedback welcome, whether this really passes your tests!

The instructions in the INSTALL-WIN file are really very helpful.
However, cross-compiling glib caused me quite a few headaches (at the
end, I did not do that myself). I tried to capture in a gist at GitHub
how I proceeded:

https://gist.github.com/ablaette/dc43b7f916121da7e6d15999e4bacf00

The intention behind this 64 bit version is to be able to compile some
C/C++ code in an R package agains libcl, and to make functions available
to a R package I am developing (polmineR, see
www.github.com/PolMine/polmineR<http://www.github.com/PolMine/polmineR>).

I admire the rcqp package that actually already does that, but I did not
manage to cross-compile that for 64 bit windows, and having immediate
access to the corpus library creates creates opportunities to speed up
performance critical tasks. Once I move beyond the proof of concept, I
will share that.

Kind regards

Andreas
