Are there any efforts to arrange for such an integration in the near
future?
The way that mingw.org packages things is too
confusing for my tastes. However, we have not yet begun to port
things like msys, or to try compiling msys on/for Win64. I personally
feel that the msys environment is sub-par, and if you need that much
in the way of gnu tools, you're better off going with cygwin.
I will stick a thought in here, but I am naturally aware that ANY move
that consolidates mingw-w64 with other code is liable to be both a
tecnical and a political mountain of pretty substantial magnitude, so my
"wish" here is something I would see as a long-term ideal and probably not
a short term easy action.
I would like to fetch one package and then have
gcc foo.c -o foocygwin 32-bit cygwin
gcc -mno-cygwin foo.c -o foow32 32-bit native windows
gcc -mno-cygwin -m64 foo.c -o foow64 64-bit native windows
with all that happening effortlessly with an easy click or two in the
options about what I fetch when I fetch the whole cygwin environment that
I like to have so I can use all the other associated GNU and Unix-style
tools.
So if there was any prospect that the cygwin people would be willing to
fold your stuff into the multi-lib scheme that they already have that
supports mingw-w32 that would give a very comfortable experience for
people like me.
Meanwhile what you have right now is still GREAT!
