Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] Problem cross compiling TOra

Hi Adam,

I’m actually on the lookout for a new postgres tool and Tora looks interesting.

You don’t need to install wine for mxe, indeed, we finally have a way to 
disable it during builds. I advise against using it for any sort of building, 
all it does is hide problems or creates new hidden ones.

I’d suggest always using the latest mxe version (and apt for that matter), you 
don’t want to be manually maintaining such things.

Looks like you’re trying to mix cross-libs with native ones.

Do you really need all the `Qt5xxx_DIR` settings? Note that they point to 
non-existent directories.

/machine:X86 is an msvc flag. There’s a pull request [1] to fix this.

As a starting point, use the new prefixed cmake with these options:

x86_64-w64-mingw32.static-cmake \
    -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/src/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.static/include \
    -DQT5_BUILD=ON \
    -DENABLE_PGSQL=ON \ 
    -DENABLE_DB2=OFF \
    -DENABLE_TERADATA=OFF \
    -DWANT_INTERNAL_LOKI=ON \
    -DWANT_INTERNAL_QSCINTILLA=OFF

You’ll run into an existing tora issue [2] unless you have specified the 
correct oracle paths. If you get past those, there will likely be mxe issues 
with cmake and static Qt linking [3] that will hopefully be resolved soon. 
Maybe try the shared builds instead in the mean time.

Cheers,

Tony
