Thank you, Kai! At present I and Alexey provide builds as "Personal builds", that in fact is not our goal. Our goal is to provide "Official builds". To do this, we need the help of mingw-w64 users, in the form of feedback. I am asking all of you to try out our builds and report the result. The nearest plans include the following objects: 1. To complete the porting of mingw-builds scripts for the possibility to use it with osx/nix platforms. 2. To create an universal online installer of the precompiled toolchains for win/osx/nix. 3. To create a collection of precompiled OpenSource libraries for C/C++ programming languages.
