Bug#642954: libreoffice: Please support building with mingw-w64 instead of gcc-mingw32
Package: src:libreoffice
Version: 1:3.4.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
mingw-w64, which is intended to eventually replace mingw32 and the
assorted packages, is now available in Debian along with new builds of
binutils and gcc. To build libreoffice using mingw-w64, all that's
needed is to replace the 'gcc-mingw32' and 'mingw32-runtime'
build-dependencies with 'mingw-w64' (which itself depends on the
compilers and libraries) in debian/control, and again in debian/rules,
and replace 'i586-mingw32msvc' with 'i686-w64-mingw32' in
debian/rules. I would attach a patch but the build dependencies change
regularly enough that it doesn't seem particularly useful!
I've rebuilt libreoffice successfully using mingw-w64, but I'm not
sure what the Windows build environment is actually used for so I
haven't been able to check that the resulting build is actually
correct. (LibreOffice itself starts up and functions correctly, but I
don't know how to determine whether the Windows-targeted build
artifacts are being used.) Of course I don't expect you to do the
checking for me; if you have the time to point me in the right
direction I'd be happy to complete the investigation.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
