I`ve tested my patch with meta-mingw layer on my host and it seems I have fixed the current compilation error, with making some changes to meta-mingw (by changing "CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME" variable to "Windows" value during toolchain file generation in "recipes-core/expat/expat_%.bbappend" file using a "recipes-devtools/cmake/cmake_%.bbappend" file as template). However this is only part of a solution, because another error appears next to it: gdb-cross-canadian that depends on expat now fails to build, because it can not find a proper expat library. It seems that expat recipe, which was switched to build with CMake in my patch, does not generate output library in proper format (it compiles only "libexpat.dll.a", when the current version of expat recipe from upstream, that uses Autotools, generates both "libexpat.a" and "libexpat.dll.a"). This is such an error that I can not figure out how to solve it by myself, so I ask for help. Additionally I would like to ask you: How should I send patches now when at least two separate patches with similar purposes should be sent to different layers (one for [OE-core] and other for [meta-mingw])? Should they be connected with some kind of cover-letter or is there another option? Thanks for your attention.
