Bug ID: 89295
Summary: Support for MinGW-w64 and/or MSYS2
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.0.3 release
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: sdk
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In addition to the MSVC-based build, please support MinGW-w64 [1] on Windows.
This basically means allowing to build LibreOffice with GCC and make, or
something similar. This will attract more contributors, even tough official
builds continue to be based on MSVC.
If you are interested in a full build environment, you may also consider MSYS2
[2]. This is basically MinGW-w64 with Cygwin and pacman. No manual dependencies
management, wide number of reusable libraries and modern Unix shell.
The point is enlarging the developer community, so just MinGW-w64 would help
already. Note that MinGW-w64 and MSYS2 have nothing to do with MinGW.org, so if
you had a bad experience with MinGW, it may be very different for these other.
