[ITA] mingw64-x86_64-curl, mingw64-i686-curl

[Brian Inglis]

I would like to offer to adopt mingw64-x86_64-curl and mingw64-i686-curl from
Yaakov's list, as I have already adopted curl.
Releases updated to curl 7.72.0 are available for testing in:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AV-n7lfK58v2nuw1ZmQry-iqa-sxZ4nG?usp=sharing

Does it matter if I build mingw64 packages under Cygwin 64 or 32 bit: do I have
to match the package being built, or does it not matter?

FWIW, I build my cross-compiled packages under 64bit always regardless
of the target architecture.  No particular reason for doing it that way,
but it turns out the compiles tend to be slightly faster on 64bit.

Thanks Achim,

I'll do the same in future as more address space under 64, frees up some in 32,
 and reduces packages to update there.

How does cross compiling for 32-bit Cygwin work? I think it'd be useful
for me too - in one instance I've found that stripping debug symbols can
take 3 times as long to run under 32-bit Cygwin.

This is cross-compiling for mingw Cygwin tools used to build Windows-only
executables such as cygcheck, cygserver, cygwin-console-helper, ldh, and strace.

I don't cross-compile to Cygwin, only to MingW.  I believe there are
some packages that are cross-compiled from Linux, but with any of these
cross-compilation options you can't actually run the tests, so that is
the reason for not doing it for Cygwin (for me anyway).  Also there's
quite a bunch of software out there that doesn't really like to be
cross-compiled and needs major effort to do so.

Oh, I wasn't very clear. I meant using 64-bit Cygwin to compile for
32-bit Cygwin. Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned
before.

You could try installing packages starting with cygwin32:

cygwin32
cygwin32-binutils
cygwin32-binutils-debuginfo
cygwin32-default-manifest
cygwin32-gcc-ada
cygwin32-gcc-cilkplus
cygwin32-gcc-core
cygwin32-gcc-debuginfo
cygwin32-gcc-fortran
cygwin32-gcc-g++
cygwin32-gcc-objc
cygwin32-gcc-objc++
cygwin32-gettext
cygwin32-libbfd
cygwin32-libiconv
cygwin32-libtool
cygwin32-minizip
cygwin32-w32api-headers
cygwin32-w32api-runtime
cygwin32-zlib

download Cygwin sources and add to top of cygport, or do the equivalent of:

CROSS_HOST=i686-pc-cygwin
inherit cross

and try running cygport to see what happens.

I understood that, but please don't.  The cross compilation toolchains
between Cygwin arches are seriously lagging the native ones (I think
they were mostly meant for bootstrapping) and as I said, you won't be
able to run the tests.  Cygwin 32bit has a bunch of quirks that never or
very rarely show up in 64bit, so you'd be much more prone to ship broken
packages that way.
