Hi, this issue has been reported 2 month ago [1]. Since MinGW-w64/MSYS2 on Wine is still totally broken and Cygwin is a regression trigger, I'm starting here a thread to track the progress. Qian Hong (fracting) shared an excerpt from IRC-log [2] with some details. Corinna suggested to revert ffcef70. But this didn't happen. I'd like to kindly ask about current considerations towards fixing the lost compatibility.
Thanks, Andrey [1] mintty doesn't start under wine-staging https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/682 [2] IRC-log cut https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/682#issuecomment-247065973 P.S. Was it not too early to remove WinXP support? Though it is officially not supported anymore, there are still PCs running WinXP (and Wine). Also there are still systems, I've heard, using some embedded Windows, that shares the same code with WinXP, thus making it not yet truly obsolete. Additionally a lot of work has been done by Cygwin contributors to support this OS and I believe the most of bugs have been workarounded, while due to stopped development it is not likely one has to spend time solving new problems. So was it really worth to drop the hardly crafted code? Are there already some worthwhile advantages? Why wasn't it possible to switch Cygwin WinXP support to just "not officially supported"?
