#2312 gcc-5.3.0 packages do not deliver libgomp.spec

[Keith Marshall]

This is required when linking libgomp.a or libgomp.dll.a dependent applications, but does not appear to be delivered by any package in the gcc-5.3.0 package set. It should likely be added to gcc-core-5.3.0-mingw32-bin.tar, alongside libgomp.a and libgomp.dll.a themselves.

[Keith Marshall]

For those who may wish to download the omitted libgomp.spec file directly, I've attached a copy here, together with the updated package specification file, (which should be included within an updated gcc-5.3.0-2-mingw32-src.tar.xz), to add it to gcc-core-5.3.0-2-mingw32-bin.tar.xz.

[Keith Marshall]

I've updated the FRS version of gcc-core-5.3.0-2-mingw32-bin.tar.xz, to include the missing libgomp.spec file, and the gcc-5.3.0-2-mingw32-src.tar.xz to include the modified gcc-5.3.0-mingw32.pkgspec file.

If you have previously used mingw-get to install gcc-5.3.0, and your installation doesn't include libgomp.spec, (or if you added libgomp.spec manually), you should take action to refresh your mingw-get installation records, by deleting the respective package file from mingw-get's package cache, (and deleting libgomp.spec from your installation tree, if you installed it manually), then reinstall gcc-core-bin. MSYS users may do this as follows:

$ rm -f /mingw/var/cache/mingw-get/packages/gcc-core-5.3.0-*
$ rm -f /mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/5.3.0/libgomp.spec
$ mingw-get install --reinstall gcc-core-bin

while cmd.exe users should:

del %MINGW_ROOT%\var\cache\mingw-get\packages\gcc-core-5.3.0-*
del %MINGW_ROOT%\lib\gcc\mingw32\5.3.0\libgomp.spec
mingw-get install --reinstall gcc-core-bin

after having set the environment variable MINGW_ROOT to your MinGW installation directory path, (or simply substitute the appropriate path in each of the two del commands, in place of the variable reference); in either case, the equivalent of %MINGW_ROOT%\bin needs to be specified within the PATH environment variable.
