Glad to hear that our project experience could be useful in upstream. I understood described order of changes, and we are ready to implement some parts of them. We could step up to make clean patchset based on prep.sh with conditional changes to support MINGW. As I see easydozen got involved to issue discussion [3], so we could proceed to details in qubes-issues. > >> [1] https://github.com/tabit-pro/qwt-crossbuild >> [2] https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3418 > [3] https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5065 > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
