I cross-compiled tlaunch on successive versions of Ubuntu Linux,
using the mingw packages binutils-mingw-w64-i686,
gcc-mingw-w64-base, gcc-mingw-w64-i686, g++-mingw-w64-i686,
mingw-w64-common, mingw-w64-i686-dev, mingw-w64-tools,
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-i686-6.3.0-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v5-rev2.7z
from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/. I compiled with
the batchfile makewin.cmd, which does not use make but simply
compiles everything.

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.
