I sometimes run into this problem:
1 - I develop a working C++/C program on Ubuntu Linux for Ubuntu, which uses some libraries (which are platform-independent, such as OpenSSL, Boost, GNU Scientific Library, DCMTK, and others: these are generally available from apt-get, and are installed properly).
2 - I would like to also cross-compile the program from Ubuntu to run on Windows, using mingw (x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++).
3 - The libraries are missing from mingw.
Is there a generic way to easily "convert" any library from linux-version (or source-code) into mingw installation so that it can be used to build windows a program? Each library seems to have it's own separate complicated installation instructions for mingw.
