Package: gcc-mingw-w64 Version: 4.5.2-8 Severity: normal Hi!
(Reporting while the package is still stuck in NEW, sorry if it becomes misplaced. Reportbug claims the maintainer is ok, not sure about the BTS.) The compiler triplets seem to be wrong: * i686-w64-mingw32 has "w64" in name, yet executables it produces work perfectly on 32 bit systems. I even checked on an ancient 32 bit only machine to be 100% sure. To add confusion, other builds call it i586-mingw32msvc or just mingw32. * x86_64-w64-mingw32 has "w32", but its executables are 64 bit. Not to mention the whole package being named *-mingw-w64 while its existing counterparts have "-w" less (-mingw32), but that'd be probably too much work to change at this point. This inconsistency has nowhere as big potential for confusion as -w64- in the 32 bit compiler. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-vserver-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gcc-mingw-w64 depends on: ii binutils-mingw-w64 2.21.0.20110327-2 Cross-binutils for Win32 and Win64 ii libc6 2.11.2-13 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgmp10 2:5.0.1+dfsg-7 Multiprecision arithmetic library ii libmpc2 0.9-2 multiple precision complex floatin ii libmpfr4 3.0.0-9 multiple precision floating-point ii mingw-w64-dev 1.0+20101003-1 Development files for MinGW-w64 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.5.dfsg-1 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gcc-mingw-w64 recommends: pn gcc-4.5-locales <none> (no description available) ii libstdc++6-4.5-dev 4.5.2-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (d gcc-mingw-w64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
