Oh great, that's basically the same thing, but done properly. Do you know if it's been proposed upstream?

I [started doing cross-builds](https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa/issues/90) using MXE about a week ago and submitted [this PR](https://github.com/mxe/mxe/pull/2864) there. That wasn't too hard (biggest time investment was some [Windows-specific code](https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa/commit/d3d50d17ec32dfc7455703988cbd6edf05027f35) to query the console...

Just checked, and MXE patches the GLib init as above. Makes you wonder how much time we'd have saved collectively if it'd been upstreamed back in 2013 :-)

It's a good question. It's meant to be "not too hard" to get it working (I kept portability in mind while writing it -- for instance, it uses GLib, which...

Awesome work. It's not looking too bad, you're both probably running into a [Libtool issue](https://debbugs.gnu.org/db/29/29298.html), or something similar to it. I've added a few commits to master that may help...

I expect there will be a few more issues to solve once it builds to make it pass the "actually does something" test :-)

@cdluminate @crmabs Did you get a chance to rerun the build with current master? I'm hoping commits https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa/commit/f7e600b1f96798f6189daec4a3a1761963f6c15d and https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa/commit/395e9f63174734088149123de2600c2cb429b933 will improve things.

 [Well well well.](https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa/releases/tag/1.12.2)

I'm still curious to hear if it builds successfully in the various Windows-oriented environments. It'd be nice to get it into repositories/package managers too (I've been using MXE and am...

@oakes Thanks for testing it again. I might take a crack at Scoop this weekend, see if I can make sense of it.
