Do you really expect people to build for x86_64 windows on PowperPC or Arm machines?
I really think it is ok to build for aarch64 windows on aarch64 and for x86_64 windows on x86_64. We build openSUSE for aarch64 on aarch64 and openSUSE for x86_64 on x86_64 after all. I do not see any added value at all to keep the ability to build x86_64 windows on non x86 archs.
This is called cross-compilation and it's a very valuable thing. I don't understand the reasoning behind to remove such a functionality.
The problem is the prefix of packages: 'mingw64-' applies for windows 64-bit and covers both x86_64 and aarch64.
No! In packaging context, "mingw64" does not have *any* meaning except to avoid naming clashes with other packages in the distribution. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
