cygwin-64 + multiarch package (32bit gcc)

cygwin-64 + multiarch package (32bit gcc)

[Pach Roman (PS-EC/ESG4)]

Hello,

are there any plans to get the multiarch package ported to Cygwin?
What would be interesting for me, is to have an 32-bit gcc running in 64-bit Cygwin.

Best regards
Roman Pach

I'm not familiar with the specifics -- this isn't something I've ever
needed for my own purposes -- but I think this is already provided by
the cygwin32* packages like cygwin32-binutils and cygwin32-gcc-core.

This is clearly a slightly different approach to (say) Debian's
multiarch package, but I think it gets you to essentialy the same
endpoint.

Have a look at packages prefixed cygwin32 under 64 bit and cygwin64 
under 32 bit:

cygwin{32,64}{,-binutils,-default-manifest,-gcc-ada,-gcc-cilkplus,-gcc-core,
-gcc-fortran,-gcc-g++,-gcc-objc,-gcc-objc++,-gettext,-libbfd,-libiconv,
-libtool,-minizip,-w32api-headers,-w32api-runtime,-zlib}

but they may not have been updated for some time.

There are cross-compilation toolchains between the 64bit and 32bit
Cygwin architectures (cygwin32-* and cygwin64-*), but these have not
been updated in years.  I have no current plans to revive these, but you
might have a look to see what it would take to build your own.
