Hi René, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner!

The naming is weird, see http://bugs.debian.org/622276 for the details. The new triplets in use are the reason why the package couldn't simply replace the mingw32 toolchain; the compilers aren't drop-in replacements, so if I had just declared a Replaces relation I would have caused a few FTBFSs. Given that I'm the one driving the change I prefer taking the time to get in touch with the various maintainers involved! Changed it for non-squeeze-backports builds. Thanks!

The version in squeeze won't work, it uses yet another triplet and was only intended for Win64 programs. Best regards, Stephen signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Not really, and you need to patch rules anyway, not control, and that huk doesn't change that regularily enough :) But it's a trivial change, so no need for a patch :) Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.

Bug#642954: libreoffice: Please support building with mingw-w64 instead of gcc-mingw32
Package: src:libreoffice Version: 1:3.4.3-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, mingw-w64, which is intended to eventually replace mingw32 and the assorted packages, is now available in Debian along with new builds of binutils and gcc. To build libreoffice using mingw-w64, all that's needed is to replace the 'gcc-mingw32' and 'mingw32-runtime' build-dependencies with 'mingw-w64' (which itself depends on the compilers and libraries) in debian/control, and again in debian/rules, and replace 'i586-mingw32msvc' with 'i686-w64-mingw32' in debian/rules. I would attach a patch but the build dependencies change regularly enough that it doesn't seem particularly useful! I've rebuilt libreoffice successfully using mingw-w64, but I'm not sure what the Windows build environment is actually used for so I haven't been able to check that the resulting build is actually correct. (LibreOffice itself starts up and functions correctly, but I don't know how to determine whether the Windows-targeted build artifacts are being used.) Of course I don't expect you to do the checking for me; if you have the time to point me in the right direction I'd be happy to complete the investigation.

It's only used for unowinreg.dll, which in turn is only used in the SDK. (It should be bundled to stuff wanting to use the registry, and for that the Java stuff is supposed to use that .dll) Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
