The "Fedora MinGW" project is a little misnamed. We're
really just a Fedora
Windows gcc cross-compiler and we use a bit of runtime from
mingw.org
(although later on we intend to replace as much as possible with code from
the separate mingw-w64 project). The fact that
mingw.org also builds
some libraries isn't really anything to do with this project.
Hmm, to me this
is a pretty bewildering excuse, because a cross toolchain which
doesn't match the native host's libraries it targets, is widely free of sense
and useless.
You really won't find that
mingw.org libraries they happen to
build are
compatible with our cross-compiled libraries (although the most acute
incompatibilities are with C++ programs). Ship our zlib1.dll to be
on the safe side.
Well, then you likely may want to launch a native mingw32 distro, matching your
ming32 packages, such that your ming32 toolchain finally has a target platform
or help mingw32.org?
However, I'd seriously recommend you fix your toolchain to match with that
toolchain packages windoze users are really using (
mingw.org).
I regret, but in it's present shape your cross-toolchain is more a waste of
diskspace but real support for cross-building to Windows.
