--- Comment #6 from Erik van Pienbroek erik-fedora@vanpienbroek.nl 2010-10-11 08:13:04 EDT --- As I see it we have two possible solutions to this bug: 1. Split the mingw32-pthreads package in a runtime and a devel part Cons: The BuildRequires of various other packages depending on mingw32-pthreads have to be updated Cons: There are no other packages in the Fedora MinGW toolchain which have -devel subpackages making it inconsistent with the rest of the packages 2. Link libgomp statically against pthreads eliminating the hard dependency on the mingw32-pthreads package Cons: Might require approval from FESCO as packages aren't allowed to link statically against each other
I would vote for the second option, but I don't know if the others agree with me on that
