Is there a Clang mingw cross compiler for Linux

I've written a tool with which you can compile easily with clang for windows on linux. Check out: https://github.com/tpoechtrager/wclang.

How do I invoke the MinGW cross-compiler on Linux?

If you look at the file lists on the Ubuntu package webserver for mingw-w64's constituent packages:

• gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64
• g++-mingw-w64-x86-64
• binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64
• mingw-w64-x86-64-dev
• gcc-mingw-w64-i686
• g++-mingw-w64-i686
• binutils-mingw-w64-i686
• mingw-w64-i686-dev

You can see that mingw-w64 provides a toolchain, i.e. a set of alternative tools (compiler, linker, headers, etc.) used to compile your code for another system.

Assuming you want to compile C++ code for a 64-bit system, you'll need to use /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++-win32. You can use the CXX environment variable to tell most Makefiles to use that compiler to compile code.

Is it possible to cross-compile C++ applications from Linux for Windows XP?

You to use a version of MinGW-w64 that was built with configure flags --with-default-msvcrt=msvcrt-os and --with-default-win32-winnt=0x0501.

These flags will result in MinGW-w64 libraries that will only use Windows features available up to Windows XP.
