[The] assumption has been made even without considering the whole renaming-dynamic-libraries problem (after all, what possible users could there even be for MinGW libraries in the first place?)
The downstream uses for mingw libraries are
- the WSL loader for our distro - other mingw packages (usually more libraries) - to build other kinds of software that do not participate in openSUSE anymore (i.e. some application you're trying to ship to a customer with native Windows)
In that sense, the mingw stack's importance ranks a little below that of dmd/fpc.
Sorry, what are dmd/fpc?
DMD is the Digital Mars D compiler. FPC is the FreePascal Compiler. -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth!
