[yocto] How to build a library for both linux and windows

[Francisco Torres]

Hello,


We use Yocto to build a Linux distribution for an embedded device. This device uses clutter to create the graphical user interface.

Also there is a Windows tool (Codesys) which is able to generate applications which will run in our device.
In order to create an app in windows which has a graphical user interface we need to compile clutter for Windows (so Codesys will use it and developer can see what the result will look like).

So, basically I need to build clutter for both Linux (done no problem here) and Windows (this is what I do not know how to do).

I thought that enabling mingw as sdk in yocto would be an option (I have managed to do that) or maybe using mingw as an external toolchain, but I am not sure how to do that.

I have been able to compile mingw, which I have verified that generates code for Windows.
But now I do not know to instruct bitbake to use this generated toolchain (mingw) to compile clutter for Windows.

Best Regards,
Francis.
