Package: gcc-mingw32
Version: 4.4.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hello,
Please consider distributing also the Fortran compiler available in
mingw, gfortran. I have attached a patch showing the changes needed in
order to do it: just enable fortran in the same way as C and C++ and
then modify the configure script for libgfortran in the same manner
than it is done already for libgcc.
I have built the package and tested it by compiling the popular BLAS
library as a DLL, and then linking it to a C program also
cross-compiled with gcc-mingw32. I have also tested the fortran compiler with
a program using the new features provided by gfortran 4.4, with no other
problem than the same described in bug #539033, that is, the dependency on
libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll for all the binaries generated.
Thank you.
