gcc-mingw-w64 for Debian ------------------------ This package provides the standard Debian gcc, built to target Windows using MinGW-w64: the resulting executables and DLLs won't require any runtime DLL beyond those you'd expect (any library explicitly used, and potentially libgcc and/or libstdc++). gcc is configured as follows: * static and shared builds are supported; * multilib is not supported (use explicit 32- or 64-bit targets instead); * exceptions use Dwarf2 on 32-bit Windows, structured exception handling (SEH) on 64-bit Windows; * LTO is supported; * GOMP is enabled; * language front-ends are built for C, C++, Fortran, Ada, Objective-C and Objective-C++. Both Windows and POSIX threading models are supported; the default model is Windows, but it can be changed using alternatives. The threading model can also be selected explicitly by specifying the appropriate compiler; for example, i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-posix for POSIX-threaded 32-bit C code, x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++-win32 for Windows-threaded 64-bit C++ code. The POSIX threading model enables support for C++11 threads and GOMP, but produces binaries which need the libwinpthread-1.dll at runtime. The Windows threading doesn't support C++11 threads currently but produces binaries with no requirement for the pthreads DLL. To use this package to build Windows software, simply use the appropriate target: * i686-w64-mingw32 for 32-bit Windows; * x86_64-w64-mingw32 for 64-bit Windows. -- Stephen Kitt <skitt@debian.org>, Sat, 28 Nov 2020 12:18:40 +0100
