+I cross-compiled tlaunch on successive versions of Ubuntu Linux,
+using the mingw packages gcc-mingw-w64-base, gcc-mingw-w64-i686,
+g++-mingw-w64-i686, mingw-w64-common, mingw-w64-i686-dev and
+binutils-mingw-w64-i686 and the included Makefile and cross-make
+shell script.
+
+Occasionally I needed to run the gdb debugger. Although Ubuntu does
+have a cross-debugger, I opted for native compilation and native
+debugging, using mingw gcc and gdb from the Strawberry Perl project
+at http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/ . I compiled with the
+batchfile makewin.cmd, which does not use make and does not bother
+with dependency checking.
+
+For the shell script cross-make, check that the CROSS environment
+variable is right for your system.
+
+For the batchfile makewin.cmd, check that the mingw environment
+variable points to the root of your mingw installation.
