Hi all, The Fedora project has announced recently that it will use gcc 4.7 as default version for the upcoming Fedora 17 release (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GCC47) and a mass rebuild has just been started earlier today (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Mass_Rebuild).
Because of this I took the liberty to update our mingw32-gcc package to the same gcc 4.7 snapshot as well. I've done this to remain in sync with the native Fedora gcc. This package is available in Fedora rawhide as of today (just in time before the mass rebuild started). The mingw-gcc package in the mingw-w64 testing repo has also just been updated to gcc 4.7. As the mass rebuild has just started it shouldn't be needed to manually rebuild your packages. Just keep a watch out on koji mails about the automated rebuild. If a package fails to rebuild I'd like to hear about this so we can help resolving it. The only package which I've found (to date) that doesn't build anymore with gcc 4.7 is mingw32-boost. It seems to bail out because of a lack of thread support but I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact cause yet. The native Fedora boost package also seemed to have suffered from gcc 4.7 issues so I think it may be an upstream boost issue. Build logs can be found at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3641948&name=build.log Kind regards, Erik van Pienbroek _______________________________________________ mingw mailing list mingw@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/mingw
