1 -I am preparing a full example to be checked out or exported from public svn.
1 +Setting up a portable C++ project still is a pain in the ass, especially if it shall be portable.

3 -Soon ...
3 +When trying to automate it in some way, we came to the conclusion that a full example in a public subversion repository is a good solutions because it's easy to use for you and easy to maintain for us.

5 +=== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-HowTo..."/}}HowTo ... ===
6 +
7 +These are the steps for an ultra fast bootstrapping of a portable project relying on pba-cbs and [[our incarnation of the MinGW cross compilation toolchain>>doc:MINGW64.WebHome]].
8 +
9 +===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-Preparations"/}}Preparations =====
10 +
11 +You need deb sources for {{code language="none"}}pba{{/code}} ({{code language="none"}}any-pba-1.0{{/code}}) and //distro//{{code language="none"}}-mingw-5{{/code}} (i.e. {{code language="none"}}squeeze-mingw-5{{/code}} or {{code language="none"}}wheezy-mingw-5{{/code}}), see [[https:~~/~~/deb.clazzes.org>>url:https://deb.clazzes.org/||shape="rect"]].

26 +# for a flat application project:
27 +svn export "https://svn.clazzes.org/svn/pba/trunk/pba-helloworld-portable" $MYAPPNAME
28 +
29 +# for a multi-module multi-program application project:
30 +svn export "https://svn.clazzes.org/svn/pba/trunk/pba-hellobigworld-portable" $MYAPPNAME
31 + 
32 +# for a library project:
33 +svn export "https://svn.clazzes.org/svn/pba/trunk/pba-hellolib-portable" $MYAPPNAME
