@LH_Mouse -- I love your mcfgthread package--easy to install, easy to use, and you already have a package out supporting gcc 9.2. The only thing I don't like is that requires that one DLL file (mcfgthread-12.dll) to be distributed with any .exe file I create with the compiler. That's a deal breaker for me. I'd love it if you could create just a regular pthreads (non-mcfgthread) distro of your builds that could compile to stand-alone static .exe's. Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
@NightStrike--thank you for the reply. I am simpy used to installing packages from the personal builds folder. I started doing this because it seemed like the vast majority of downloads were from these folders, so I figured I'd go with the flow. So now I know exactly how to do use these packages, I know they have all of the libraries I need, etc. I can install and start building from the Windows command prompt without any additional utilities or shells. As for msys2, I would have to learn how to...
I think my intent got lost somewhere in this (now) long thread. I intended to ask when this folder (and the corresponding Win64 folder) would get updated builds for 8.2.0 (or 7.4.0 for that matter): Home / Toolchains targetting Win32 / Personal Builds / mingw-builds If you look at download counts, the builds from this folder (and the Win64 version) by far dominate the activity for this project, and they haven't been updated for about nine months. Who maintains the builds posted in these folders?
Will gcc 8.2.0 be posted in the toolchains anytime soon?
Modification to float.h
Anybody know why it's taking so long to get MinGW-64 for gcc 7.2 uploaded into the Win64 toolchain folder? Gcc 7.2 was released on August 14.
I would think you could manually load the DLL in your code. You might have better luck if you post this question on Stack Overflow (stackoverflow.com).
