I tried it on an amd64 and a x86 machine. This is what crossdev wants to install (the output is the same on both arquitectures,only changes the Host Portage ARCH): melee ~ # crossdev-stable i586-mingw32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Host Portage ARCH: amd64 * Target Portage ARCH: x86 * Target System: i586-mingw32 * Stage: 4 (C/C++ compiler) * binutils: binutils-[latest] * gcc: gcc-[latest] * headers: linux-headers-[latest] * libc: -[latest] * PORTDIR_OVERLAY: /usr/local/portage * PORT_LOGDIR: /var/log/portage * PKGDIR: /usr/portage/packages/cross/i586-mingw32 * PORTAGE_TMPDIR: /var/tmp/cross/i586-mingw32 _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - And this is what it wants to install with only defining "mingw32", without the i586: melee ~ # crossdev-stable mingw32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Host Portage ARCH: amd64 * Target Portage ARCH: amd64 * Target System: mingw32 * Stage: 4 (C/C++ compiler) * binutils: binutils-[latest] * gcc: gcc-[latest] * headers: w32api-[latest] * libc: mingw-runtime-[latest] * PORTDIR_OVERLAY: /usr/local/portage * PORT_LOGDIR: /var/log/portage * PKGDIR: /usr/portage/packages/cross/mingw32 * PORTAGE_TMPDIR: /var/tmp/cross/mingw32 _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ I think it's not getting the correct packages for "i586-mingw32" (w32api,mingw-runtime, and why it wants to install linux-headers?) Anyway I tried to emerge it (i586-mingw32) on amd64 and gcc failed, it said it can't find stdio.h...if needed I can attach the build log but I think it's irrelevant. And there is already a bug opened for this stdio.h bug (and the solution given is: emerge it with crossdev -t mingw32) As far as I know, setting only "mingw32" on a amd64 machine will generate a mingw32-gcc that compiles 64bit binaries or binaries that doesn't work on any machine, I don't want this. I'm now compiling it with "mingw32" on the x86 machine, seems to be working, but the "i586-mingw32" bug is still there, and I want to emerge it on the amd64 machine not on the x86 one... Reproducible: Always
you're using crossdev stable which handled i586-mingw32 incorrectly crossdev-0.9.18+ works just fine
