On a Fedora system (and maybe others) there is a wrapper script called
i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config. This script unsets the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
variable and then sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR variable so that it won't
pick up the native system .pc files. This breaks cross compiling in
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh because it ends up removing its attempts
to set a local search path.
To fix this, the mingw-fetch-dependencies script now generates its own
wrapper script which instead sets PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the local
clutter-cross prefix and then runs the original pkg-config program
from the search path. This should have the same benefit of preventing
it from finding native system .pc files on systems that don't provide
a cross pkg-config. The cross compiling for json-glib and the
recommend args to pass to configure when building clutter are updated
to set the PKG_CONFIG varible to point to this wrapper script.
Since there is very little now left in the env.sh file generated by
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh it can be removed. What remained (The
CFLAGS="-mms-bitfields" and PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$ROOT_DIR/lib/pkgconfig) can
simply be passed explicitly when calling ./configure.
This removes the use of -mno-cygwin from our generated env.sh for cross
compiling with mingw.
I don't know that anyone is building clutter under cygwin, and our
BuildingClutterOnWindows wiki page only describes building with msys not
cygwin so I think its fair to assume that this build configuration is
untested and thus not supported by us currently. Since the -mno-cygwin
option is deprecated it could well be that there is a better
cross-compilation solution available for cygwin these days if you want
to build programs that don't depend on cygwin libraries.
This remove CXXFLAGS since we don't have any c++ code in Clutter and
also removes the redundant -L$ROOT_DIR/lib from LDFLAGS and
-I$ROOT_DIR/include from CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS. (These should get added by
pkg-config)
This adds some blurb at the end the mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh script
that gives an example of how to go on and build clutter after fetching
all dependencies.
Since Tor does not currently provide win32 binaries for json-glib we
need to cross compile it before we can build clutter. This extends
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh so it can fetch, unpack and cross-compile
json-glib into the same prefix as the binary dependencies.
It shouldn't be necessary to explicitly override CC,CPP,AR,NM,LD etc in
the env.sh helper script that mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh generates.
Clutter's ./configure script should figure all of those out for us.
This removes the "Do you want to checkout and build Clutter?" option
from the mingw-cross-compile.sh script and renames the script
mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh
As it stands the mingw-cross-compile.sh script isn't enough to fetch all
the dependencies for building clutter, since Tor doesn't provide binaries
for json-glib so the option to checkout and build clutter can't work.
Also it doesn't seem ideal to clone a fresh clutter repo instead of
being able to compile the source of the current repo.
The script now writes out a separate script that can be used to set up
the build environment to $ROOT_DIR/share/env.sh. This can be sourced
in a shell to set up the build environment or it can be given a
command to directly execute in the environment. This makes it easier
to build Clutter from your own source rather than checking it out from
git directly.
This updates to the latest binaries from Tor Lillqvist. zlib and iconv
are now taken from the Tor deps instead of the gnuwin32 project. SDL
is no longer downloaded because the SDL backend has been removed from
Clutter. The GL headers are downloaded from the Mesa cgit rather than
downloading the whole Mesa package. glext.h is taken directly from
khronos.org.
The README has been updated to say that you can use the script under
MSYS and also to contain a pointer to OAH. It also contains the
updated contents of a blog post¹ about building with MSYS.

builds.
* configure.ac: No longer check for GLee
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl-defines.h.in: Don't bother including GLee.h
* build/mingw/mingw-cross-compile.sh: No longer downloads libGLee
but downloads the Mesa library instead and installs the headers
from that. Fixed the libpng version.
