Summary: mingw32-gcc should not drag in mingw32-pthreads https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=599567 Summary: mingw32-gcc should not drag in mingw32-pthreads Product: Fedora Version: 13 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: mingw32-gcc AssignedTo: rjo...@redhat.com ReportedBy: ebl...@redhat.com QAContact: extras...@fedoraproject.org CC: berra...@redhat.com, rjo...@redhat.com, ka...@smartlink.ee, fedora-mi...@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora Target Release: --- Description of problem: mingw32-gcc currently drags in a dependency on mingw32-pthreads, which in turn forces some namespace pollution due to its buggy <pthread.h> header. It would be much nicer if the mingw32-pthreads package remained optional, since it can interfere with cross-compilation efforts to mingw. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mingw32-gcc-4.4.2-2.fc13.x86_64 mingw32-pthreads-2.8.0-10.fc13.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mingw32-gcc Actual results: mingw32-pthreads gets sucked in as a required dependency to the cross-compiler. Expected results: Mere presence of the cross-compiler shouldn't force the existence of a broken <pthread.h>. Either the compiler needs to be built without mingw32-pthreads, or mingw32-pthreads needs to be split into two packages (runtime dependency of the compiler, vs. development library that installs <pthread.h> for situations that actually want to use this library in spite of its current upstream flaws).
