IUP Build System

IUP is a pretty cool cross-platform GUI toolkit, it's become by go-to for cross-compiling small windows programs.

Its build system is fairly different, so I wrote this - it's a Makefile that pulls down the IUP, CD, and IM sources, compiles them, and (optionally) copies the libraries and headers into a single folder.

Right now, this only supports cross-compiling to a Windows target (ie, with i686-w64-mingw32-gcc. I'm still working on Linux support using the OpenMotif toolkit - I'm having a hard time getting OpenMotif to cross-compile, patches are welcome!

Requirements

• curl
• GNU make
• tar
• patch
• a cross-compiler

Usage

If you want, you can just type make install - this will download IUP, CD, IM, zlib, freetype, and ftgl, compile them, and create a folder named output/$TARGET/ with a lib and include folder, with all the libraries and headers, respectively.

You can also include this Makefile in your own makefile:

TARGET = i686-w64-mingw32
include iup/Makefile

# iup/Makefile will set a bunch of variables
# based on your TARGET, like TARGET_CC, TARGET_AR, etc

# the iup makefile sets an 'all' target, be sure
# to override it

all:

SRC = hello-world.c
EXE = hello-world.exe

WINDOWS_LIBS = -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -lcomctl32 -luuid -loleaut32 -lole32

$(EXE): $(SRC) $(LIBIUP)
	$(TARGET_CC) -static -I$(IUP_INCDIR) -o $(EXE) $(SRC) -L$(IUP_LIBDIR) -liup $(WINDOWS_LIBS)
	$(TARGET_STRIP) $(EXE)

all: $(EXE)
