Compile instructions are now outdated...

The page at http://attractmode.org/docs/Compile.html doesn't include the curl dependency for windows cross compiling.

Windows (cross-compile):
The recommended way to build Windows binaries for Attract-Mode is to cross compile on an OS that supports MXE (http://mxe.cc) such as Linux, FreeBSD or OS X.

Follow the steps in the mxe tutorial to set up mxe on your system: http://mxe.cc/#tutorial

Make mxe's sfml, ffmpeg and libarchive packages:

make ffmpeg sfml libarchive
the above command will make 32-bit versions of ffmpeg and sfml (and anything else that they depend on). To make the 64-bit version use the following:

make MXE_TARGETS='x86_64-w64-mingw32.static' ffmpeg sfml
Extract the Attract-Mode source to your system.

From the directory you extracted the source into, run the following:

make -j 3 CROSS=1 TOOLCHAIN=i686-w64-mingw32.static WINDOWS_STATIC=1
to build the 32-bit version of Attract-Mode. To build 64-bit, run:

make -j 3 CROSS=1 TOOLCHAIN=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static WINDOWS_STATIC=1
This step will create the "attract.exe" executable file.

Copy the contents of the config directory from the Attract-Mode source directory and the executable you just built into the same directory on your Windows-based system, and you should be ready to go!

Windows (cross-compile):
The recommended way to build Windows binaries for Attract-Mode is to cross compile on an OS that supports MXE (http://mxe.cc) such as Linux, FreeBSD or OS X.

Follow the steps in the mxe tutorial to set up mxe on your system: http://mxe.cc/#tutorial

Make mxe's sfml, ffmpeg libarchive and curl packages:

make ffmpeg sfml libarchive curl
the above command will make 32-bit versions of ffmpeg,sfml,libarchive and curl (and anything else that they depend on). To make the 64-bit version use the following:

make MXE_TARGETS='x86_64-w64-mingw32.static' ffmpeg sfml libarchive curl
Extract the Attract-Mode source to your system.

From the directory you extracted the source into, run the following:

make -j 3 CROSS=1 TOOLCHAIN=i686-w64-mingw32.static WINDOWS_STATIC=1 USE_LIBCURL=1
to build the 32-bit version of Attract-Mode. To build 64-bit, run:

make -j 3 CROSS=1 TOOLCHAIN=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static WINDOWS_STATIC=1 USE_LIBCURL=1
This step will create the "attract.exe" executable file.
