I have just updated the mingw-w64 headers, runtime, and winpthreads to 5.0.1-1. mingw64-*-headers-5.0.1-1 mingw64-*-runtime-5.0.1-1 mingw64-*-winpthreads-5.0.1-1 The cross compiler can produce Win32 and Win64 native binaries. As a cross compiler, you may use --host=i686-w64-mingw32 or --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 for autotools based source packages to build for Windows. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
