Package: g++-mingw-w64 Version: 6.1.1-12+19.1 Severity: important Experimental support is not currently enabled in Debian's build of the mingw-w64 cross-compiler.
It's being used increasingly frequently for things like std::experimental::filesystem in a lot of projects, and is enabled by default in Debian's native g++. Mingw-w64's own upstream binary builds for Windows (such as "mingw-builds") all have experimental support enabled also. For consistency it would be very helpful to enable this in Debian's binary build, as this currently prevents cross-compiling a number of the same projects that compile fine with upstream's binary releases and with Debian's g++ binaries. The relevant flag to add is just configure --enable-experimental. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/56 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages g++-mingw-w64 depends on: ii g++-mingw-w64-i686 6.1.1-12+19.1 ii g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 6.1.1-12+19.1 g++-mingw-w64 recommends no packages. g++-mingw-w64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
