349	MingW32 Cross Compile of FFMPEG Fails	jlsantiago0		"I have a MingW32 cross toolchain for Win32 that used to work to cross-compile the GIT Head Through at least 20110621. I am not sure when it broke. The HOST is an OSX 10.6 and the target is MingW32. I am following the instructions to cross-compile for MingW32 under Linux and have been able to use this technique in the past to cross-compile for MingW32 under both Linux and MacOS.

I checked out the GIT HEAD today and found that now the build is calling LIB.EXE in cross-compile mode for instance:

lib.exe /machine:i386 /def:libavcodec/avcodec-53.def /out:libavcodec/avcodec.lib

I think this is a Microsoft Windows Application that is part of MSVC++. Is the intent now for cross-compiling for Windows to be dependent on LIB.EXE?
