Dear Thomas,This is great news, thank you. I understand that I use the /usr/bin/cmake from Rtools42, not /ucrt64/bin/cmake, correct? Which generator should I select, "Unix Makefiles"? I ask because this requires a few more #defines for Swi-Prolog, but that should be feasible.Best wishes, Matthias

I don't mind if mxe help is given on this mailing list.Best wishesMatthiasI am happy to help if you run into specific issues. If you decided to build SWI Prolog in the end from source, please note I've recently added a host build of cmake to Rtools42. The Berkeley db is part of MXE and can trivially be added to Rtools42 if you need it (simply would be listed in settings.mk, running "make db" succeeds on my system, producing libdb.a). Libuuid is already part of Rtools42.BestTomas> -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --------Von: Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd using debian.org> Datum: 04.04.22  20:47  (GMT+01:00) An: r-package-devel using r-project.org Betreff: [R-pkg-devel] Preparing for R 4.2.0 and UCRT via MXE builds Is anybody else looking into trying to come to terms with MXE forcross-compiling for UCRT for R 4.2.0 and its updated Windows toolchain?  Ihave been bugging Tomas in private email for a bit and figured it might beuseful to spread the load a little.Is anybody else looking into this?  Any interest in pooling resources aroundsome virtual meeting place? New mailing list? Or an ad-hoc slack (or channelon existing one)?DirkPS My current status:- MXE installed on Ubuntu as cross-compilation. Pretty straightforward.- One initial test build (using cmake) failed:     fatal error: Windows.h: No such file or directory- Another of a known cmake-using library (nlopt) succeeded.
