To be honest I don't really see the point in rebuilding this using
EPEL. Since mingw is a cross-compile, whatever distro is used for the
host OS should not materially impact the resulting binaries. So ignoring
the lack of automake, if you build the same version of mingw-gtk2 on
Fedora 8, Fedora 9, Fedora 10, EPEL-5 the resulting DLL should be the
same.
Building stuff on EPEL only makes sense if you are going to build the
actual version of GTK from EPEL-5 for mingw. Rebuilding the Fedora 9
version of GTK on EPEL-5 for mingw just seems like a waste of time.
or do you mean that we only need to build mingw32-binutils and
mingw32-gcc on epel and use all other noarch packages compiled on fedora
on epel too?
the problem here suppose i've got a program which run and compile on
epel and would like to rebuild on windows too. imho then the above
packages not the beast choice.
