Subject: Goocanvas for Mingw32
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:54:27 +0200
From: Egil Kvaleberg <egil(a)kvaleberg.com>
To: rjones(a)redhat.com
I have played around with the Mingw32 for Fedora, and it absolutely
seems like a very cool thing.
For my purposes, I am using GTK2, which is supported, but I also need a
canvas. I have been using Goocanvas (not sure what really is *the*
canvas for GTK2, but I have been happy with Goocanvas).
However, a Goocanvas package does not seem to be available, so I built one.
Goocanvas may be of interest to others, so if you think it is suitable
then please use the attached spec-file or tell me how to get involved.
The spec-file for Fedora 11 is attached.
Sincerely,
Egil Kvaleberg

Version 4.3.2-12 of EPEL's version of the moingw32 cross-compiler do not
support cross-DLL exceptions.
I've attached the gcc bug report below. This make running a non-trivial C++
program impossible an renders the mingw32 toolchain unusable for real-world C++
programs.
The mingw-w64 toolchain has solved this problem by supplying a shared libgcc,
hopefully the mingw32 toolchain will follow this approach in the near future.
Please keep on your tremendous work on providing the ming32 toolchain in the
EPEL.
TIA,
Wolfgang

As described here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin-apps@cygwin.com/msg21163.html
libglut32.a was dropped from the latest w32api package.
Some of our packages depend on this.
It seems the right way to do this is to package glut
as a separate RPM. Note that SGI glut has a possibly
non-free license, but there is a workalike called
freeglut that we can use instead.

Fedora 11 is nearly in beta, and thanks to some judicious cuts at the
end, we made it to 100% feature complete. Thanks to the many people
who helped out reviewing packages and testing.
What do we want to aim for in Fedora 12?
Some ideas - please add your own to this thread.
(1) Win64 support
(see: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-mingw/2009-February/thread.… )
(2)? Use mingw-w64 project to build 32 bit w32api/runtime, since
mingw-w64 seems to be more active.
(3) Darwin / OS X support
(see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-March/msg00397.html )
(4) Get some of the issues resolved in the packaging guidelines:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW/Packaging_issues
(5) Expand active members, particularly packagers. I would like to
start by having a website which doesn't suck like our current one.
(6) Move educational materials to a single place.
(7) Have a FAQ.
(8) I'd like to have a reasonable Python story. I spent a lot of time
trying to get Python and Python libs to cross-compile, without any
success.
Rich.

The native zlib SRPM also builds the minizip library and the minizip and
minizip-devel RPM's.
The mingw32 version - mingw32-zlib - does neither build the minizip DLL nor
mingw32-minizip RPM's.
On http://sailer.fedorapeople.org, I've put a version of the mingw32-zlib SRPM
that uses the same (autotools) buildsystem as the native package uses. It build
both the zlib and the minizip RPMs. The downside of this package, however, is
that the binary name of the zlib DLL changes from zlib1.dll to libz-1.dll.
Implib names stay the same. I have no idea how to change the DLL name with
libtool. So the downside of this package is that while it is API compatible, it
is not ABI compatible.
