mxe VS displaylink-rpm

Cross compiler 64bit minGW along with MXE environment

I used to use MXE [1] to compile fully static Windows binaries on Linux VMs hosted with Travis. It needed to crane in everything though, so it was a source of bottlenecks from time to time. I was also uncertain about the provenance of a lot of the dependencies in that toolchain. So when Travis died I took the opportunity to move Windows builds back to gnu with msys2, all over GH Actions. These are actually comparatively snappy and I’m reasonably satisfied with it.

MXE readily supports GCC 12 as a plugin (just a configuration line): https://github.com/mxe/mxe/tree/master/plugins/gcc12

Also, if you don't have any other significant dependencies, getting the development tools on Windows is not that hard with the Qt installer. Alternatively, there is MXE.

MXE (https://mxe.cc/) is a great cross compiler environment (on linux) that uses mingw.

You can install Docker to build on any Linux distro, and if one of those is Ubuntu then you can use https://github.com/mxe/mxe to further build for Windows. Or VirtualBox + Ubuntu + MXE.

For the driver, I download this rpm and installed it. While it froze at the end, after a reboot, it worked.

Now, it's much easier to enable the Fusion repository and Envycontrol makes it as easy as Ubuntu to switch GPUs! I also use DisplayLink for additional monitors and there is now a 3rd party rpm for that.

Doing a quick search for "displaylink Fedora" on brave. These are the first 2 results and look pretty simple:

https://kcore.org/2023/01/01/installing-evdi-fedora37/ (should work on the latest Fedora 38)

Hope you next time do some research before making any statement. https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm

Appears to be broken on 6.2.x kernels (github issue).

AFAIK this driver is not completely open source. But I assume this issue was created by you? Then I'm afraid you can't do any more besides going back to a 6.1.x kernel.

I'm losing wifi and all animations after installing the evdi display link drivers from the following link: https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm/releases

DisplayLink - you will need to get the DisplayLink RPM out-of-kernel driver; if you want to continue using SecureBoot then you'll need to enroll a MOK and get that all set up as part of the build. More details over there.

If you used another method, especially if you did this setup manually, consider building and installing the source rpm here instead: https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm
