| - | *Important note* - Although this document was originally written in 2004, and refers to version of gcc, binutils, glibc, and mingw runtimes that are now obsolete, the basic procedures for setting up a cross-compiling environment from scratch are still the same today. For Linux users, most modern distros including Fedora and Ubuntu actually have official packages for installing a cross-compiling environment that targets MS Windows. Rather than building your own compiler, you are advised to use the officially provided ones if you happen to need to build MS Windows executables on Linux. | + | **Important note** - Although this document was originally written in 2004, and refers to version of gcc, binutils, glibc, and mingw runtimes that are now obsolete, the basic procedures for setting up a cross-compiling environment from scratch are still the same today.
