Hi everyone: |

After doing some experimentation with a mingw crossdev, I found that I |
| 4 |
needed to do a lot of EXTRA_ECONF settings in combination with |
| 5 |
USE="aqua" in order to get packages supporting a win32 API to be |
| 6 |
configured appropriately. In order to support this situation better, |
| 7 |
I propose adding a new global flag 'win32', modelled after the 'aqua' |
| 8 |
flag, that can be used instead to provide this configuration directly |
| 9 |
in ebuilds. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Just like USE="aqua", the flag will be use.mask'ed in base/ so that |
| 12 |
users don't erroneously enable it. I didn't un-use.mask it anywhere |
| 13 |
yet since (A) I don't have a prefix/windows environment to test, and |
| 14 |
(B) the mingw-based crossdev environments use profiles/embedded by |
| 15 |
default, which doesn't inherit from profiles/base and so doesn't have |
| 16 |
the use.mask restriction. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The attached patch lists the necessary changes to profile/ as well as |
| 19 |
the addition of USE=win32 to *ONE VERSION* of gtk+:2, gtk+:3 and cairo |
| 20 |
(the actual commit will include more versions). |
