Subject: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] New category for xmingw cross compile toolchain
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 16:29:11
Message-Id: 434E8A69.6080404@gentoo.org
1 Hi all,
2
3 I am just wondering about people's option about making a new category,
4 called something like dev-xmingw or similar.
5
6 At the moment we have in portage:
7
8 dev-util/xmingw-binutils dev-util/xmingw-runtime
9 dev-util/xmingw-gcc dev-util/xmingw-w32api
10
11 Which gives a usable W32 toolchain on gentoo using just standard W32
12 libraries.
13
14 But every so often people submit ebuild for other libraries for use with
15 this toolchain
16 ( eg. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101468 )
17
18 I have not added them up to now as it would, in my opinion, just clutter
19 things.
20
21 The other option is to make an external non-official tree that people
22 could use as an overlay.
23
24 Opinions?
