Build under msys2 about osxcross

[tpoechtrager]

OSXCross does not compile natively on Windows, you must use Cygwin instead of MSYS2.

Just follow README.CYGWIN.

I also see that the script try to compile only a shared version, is this a problem later, when I will compile static tools, like ffmpeg?

No, simply configure FFmpeg with --disable-shared --enable-static,
or use the MacPorts version (osxcross-macports install ffmpeg-devel).

Thank you for your answer!

MSYS2 is the new "cygwin" :). When you also work on windows take a look at it, you will love it (it is very actual and the dev team is very active, and it use pacman as a package manager).
But I also understand when you don't want to give support for a other build system. I will see that I found a solution.

There will be no native Windows port, sorry.

The Apple cctools and linker heavily depend on POSIX functions which are not present on Windows/MSYS2.

Another problem would be symlinks, MSYS2 does not provide proper symlink support (copying files is a joke).

Cygwin is your best bet on Windows if you want to compile for Mac OS X.

Until now I thought msys2 is almost a cygwin fork. It also has POSIX functions.

But when you say it doesn't work at all under msys2, I believe you - then I try cygwin, or I change to Linux.
