thanks this is very useful.
however the CPAC configure is heavily messed up nowadays; fails at zlib and dlopen checks

sorry I'm new in linux, what is this mean, I don't understand.

Place this helper script at ~/win32-x264/mingw and chmod +x it:

#!/bin/sh
export CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
export CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++
export CPP=i586-mingw32msvc-cpp
export AR=i586-mingw32msvc-ar
export RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib
export ADD2LINE=i586-mingw32msvc-addr2line
export AS=i586-mingw32msvc-as
export LD=i586-mingw32msvc-ld
export NM=i586-mingw32msvc-nm
export STRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip

export PATH="/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin:$PATH"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/win32-x264/lib/pkgconfig/"
exec "$@"
