Summary: Feature Request: Add mingw32-libgomp package

           Summary: Feature Request: Add mingw32-libgomp package
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: mingw32-gcc
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

    Classification: Fedora


The current mingw32-gcc package distributed by fedora has some base support for
libgomp.  That is it does understand the -fopenmp flag but it will error out
since it can not find libgomp support files.

The gcc package supports OpenMP on mingw platform via the libgomp library;
included in gcc source.  Its configure script disables it by default on that
platform but can easily be enabled with --enable-libgomp flag.

I am maintainer of SoX program which makes use of OpenMP.  I am attempting to
switch to Fedora for building mingw binaries since its much faster then same
process under windows.  libgomp support is only thing missing for me to be able
to do this.

To help me do this, I have updated the existing mingw32-gcc.spec file to enable
libgomp support and create a new mingw32-libgomp package (parallel to libgomp
package already in Fedora).

The main item I'd like someone to review is that gcc package installs
libgomp-1.dll under /usr/lib/gcc path but I think it better lives under
/usr/i686-pc-mingw/sys-root since mingw apps that link in libgomp need access
to that DLL at run time.
