Public bug reported: Perhaps this question should go to Debian - I'm interested in using the MinGW-w64 cross-compiler package but my preference is for SEH exception handling on x86_64 (rather than sjlj), and win32 threading instead of posix to avoid the dependence on libwinpthread-1.dll. Other non-Debian distributions like Fedora and OpenSUSE provide this combination by default, though I recognize win32 threading does not work as well with std::thread so it's not ideal for all users. If there were a mechanism for providing multiple options through Debian/Ubuntu packaging, it would be a much more versatile platform for cross-compilation.
Maybe this would be good to do as a PPA? I'm experimenting now with doing dpkg-buildpackage with a couple small modifications to the debian/rules file where the appropriate configure flags are used. ** Affects: gcc-mingw-w64 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1338043 Title: Using seh exceptions, win32 threads To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-mingw-w64/+bug/1338043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
