Hi Cyril, I am so happy some one got this working (I have the impression,
esteban is the only one who can build a windows vm :( )

Here are my attemps
http://forum.world.st/PharoSpur32Vm-tp4930245p4956228.html

I tried to recreate the appveyor environment locally to be able to build
the vm, like it is done on the build server.
This works fine for the squeak vm, but not for pharo.
Whatever I tried, it always fails to build the third-party libs (starting
with pkg-config).
first, it can not find the proper gcc to use. My cygwin-environment has
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
and this is what is set in "Makefile.tools"

TOOLPREFIX:=i686-w64-mingw32-

#############################################################################
# C compiler settings (gcc 4.x)
#
ifeq ($(COMPILER_TO_USE),)
COMPILER_TO_USE:=gcc
endif

ifeq ($(COMPILER_TO_USE),clang)
CC:= $(TOOLPREFIX)clang
CXX:= $(TOOLPREFIX)clang++
else
CC:= $(TOOLPREFIX)gcc
CXX:= $(TOOLPREFIX)g++
endif

so it should set the CC to use
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc

but the configure script of pkg-config, complains about "no suitable gcc
found"

How did you get this to work ?


(If I change the Makefile of pkg-config, to set the CC hardcoded to
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc, the configuring works
but it fails linking pkg-config, because it can not find libglib-2.0,
although this is set in the environment).

There MUST be a way to do this, or how is it done at the biuld-server ? I
see the recent windows-builds succeeded, but I can
not see where the third-party libs are build.
