<h3>Compiling under linux for windows with Mingw</h3>
This is called cross compiling. I'm using [http://www.archlinux.org/|Arch linux] distribution which
uses the package manager pacman to install packages. If you have a differen linux distribution the packages might be called different. I assume a login name of renez substitute yours were apropiate.

<h4>Distribution of cross compiled fossil.exe</h4>
Because you have linked against zlib and maybe ssl you need to include from <strong>/usr/i486-mingw32/bin</strong> zlib1.dll and, optional, libssl32.dll (and maybe also libeay32.dll)

<h4>testing the cross compiled fossil.exe</h4>
  *  copy fossil.exe and the dll's to a windows system. For testing purpose all in one directory. For production use a directory in your PATH
