Added support for <a href="#supported-toolchains">shared toolchains</a>.

Added support for <a href="#supported-toolchains">shared toolchains</a> for over 50% of all the packages.

Unfortunately, a number of factors have forced us to drop support
|
|
|
|
|
for MinGW 3 (i.e. "<a href="http://mingw.org/">MinGW.org</a>"),
|
|
|
|
|
in favor of the MinGW-w64 toolchain. This decision was made in a
|
|
|
|
|
large part because of the dropping of support for MinGW by <a

|
|
|

GLib</a> and <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/492#issue-41366666">Qt5</a>,
|
|
|
|
|
which arguably are two of the most important packages in MXE.
|
|
|
|
|
Other considerations have also been taken, like the <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/pull/323#issuecomment-39463810">lack
|
|
|

of maintainership in MinGW</a> and <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/400">potential legal
|
|
|
|
|
challenges</a> that comes with using supplemental DirectX
|
|
|
|
|
headers in MinGW in order to support Qt4. Worse yet, having to
|
|
|
|
|
support the unsupported MinGW toolchain impedes adding or
|
|
|
|
|
updating packages, as shown in the <a
|
|
|
|
|
href"https://github.com/mxe/mxe/pull/453#issuecomment-51703048">pull
|
|

request of updating GLib</a>.

Please note that dropping support for MinGW <strong>DOES NOT
|
|
|
|
|
MEAN</strong> dropping support for the 32-bit architecture. MinGW-w64
|
|
|
|
|
also supports 32-bit target through i686-w64-mingw32.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To ease migration to the supported MinGW-w64 target, we have
|
|
|
|
|
finished porting all packages that were MinGW-only to at least
|
|
|
|
|
i686-w64-mingw32 (32-bit target of MinGW-w64). Hence your existing
|
|
|
|
|
commands should work out-of-the-box assuming the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>MXE_TARGETS</code> environmental variable is set correctly.
