Cherokee-Win32 from OS X

Some time ago, I wrote about how to compile the native Win32 version Cherokee in a Linux machine (it is exactly the same for a OpenSolaris box), and here I am again with a little update over that post: How to compile Cherokee-Win32 from OS X.

First of all, you will have to install MinGW for OS X and to check out the latest version of the source code, then fetch, uncompress and install pthreads-win32.

 unzip pthreads-w32-2-8-0-release.exe
 cp Pre-built.2/lib/libpthreadGCE2.a \
      /usr/local/i386-mingw32-3.4.5/lib/libpthread.a
 cp Pre-built.2/include/* \
      /usr/local/i386-mingw32-3.4.5/lib/gcc/*/*/include/ 

Then you will have to set a few environment variables,

 CC=i386-mingw32-gcc
 LD=i386-mingw32-ld
 AR=i386-mingw32-ar
 RC=i386-mingw32-windres 

run the configuration script,

   ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes \
   ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull=yes \
   ./configure \
   --host=i386-mingw32 \
   --prefix=/usr/local/i386-mingw32-3.4.5/ \
   --enable-static \
   --enable-shared=no \
   --enable-static-module=all \
   --disable-readdir_r \
   --disable-tls \
   --enable-beta \
   --enable-trace \
   CC=i386-mingw32-gcc 

and finally compile it with make. Right after which the final binary should be available. Isn't it easy?
