Hi, I agree with Kai's assessment. The CI should use the same mingw version as the release system.
To not let this task sit forever please speak up if you care about mingw 4.7.x rather than using 4.9.x going forward. No negative comment about the plan implies universal acceptance after one week :) -- Alex ________________________________________ From: development-bounces+alexander.blasche=theqtcompany....@qt-project.org <development-bounces+alexander.blasche=theqtcompany....@qt-project.org> on behalf of Koehne Kai <kai.koe...@theqtcompany.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2014 09:52 To: development@qt-project.org Subject: [Development] Dropping win32-mingw47 from the CI system, adding win32-mingw491 one Hi, I suggest we drop the win32-mingw47_developer-build-qtlibinfix-Windows configuration from the CI, and replace it by one utilizing mingw-builds i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev2 . This is in addition with the two win32-mingw48 configurations we already have in the CI system. We've been releasing Qt 5.0 with mingw-builds x32-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev8, and at this time also defined it as a 'reference' configuration. However, we've long since upgraded our binary packages to newer mingw-builds packages, for 5.1 with x32-4.8.0-release-posix-dwarf-rev2 , for 5.2 and 5.3 with i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3 , and finally Qt 5.4 will be packaged with i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev2. I'd claim that support for mingw-builds x32-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev8 isn't all that relevant anymore. It also does break already in configurations that we don't test (namely ANGLE). The outdated mingw-w64 headers in this package do however cause problems, as seen in https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/100301/ .
