Would it actually be possible to mention the Debian and Ubuntu toolchains on the download page? Most people find MinGW-w64 via the MinGW-w64 web site rather than via their distribution, and I regularly get emails from people surprised to find out that the toolchain is packaged in Debian/Ubuntu: since it's not mentioned on the MinGW-w64 website they figure that their only solution is to download one of the Win-builds. Anyway, we currently support: * Debian 7 (Wheezy): builds for i686, x86_64; gcc 4.6.3, MinGW-w64 2.0.3, with C, C++, Fortran, Ada, Objective-C and Objective-C++ compilers; C11/C++11 threading isn't supported; the package manager is Apt/Dpkg; installation is done within Debian (https://packages.debian.org/mingw-w64) * Debian 8 (Jessie): as above, with gcc 4.9.1, MinGW-w64 3.2.0; C11/C++11 threading is supported (a Win32 threading variant is also available) * Debian has MinGW-w64 4.0.1 in the experimental repositories * Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin): as above, with gcc 4.6.3, MinGW-w64 2.0.1 (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mingw-w64) * Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr): as above, with gcc 4.8.2, MinGW-w64 3.1.0, C11/C++11 threading (using winpthreads) * Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn): as above, with gcc 4.9.1, MinGW-w64 3.1.0, C11/C++11 threading (a Win32 threading variant is also available) * Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet): as above, with gcc 4.9.2, MinGW-w64 3.2.0 The only additional software currently available is gdb and nsis.
