Comment 1 Thomas Sailer 2016-03-14 23:14:54 UTC 
Why are executable permissions needed? The packaging guidelines do not say so and quite a few dlls don't have executable permissions as well.
Comment 2 Gene Hightower 2016-03-14 23:20:30 UTC 
At least on Windows 10, dll's without execute permissions fail to work.  May or may not work on other versions of Windows, I did not try.

Why does the version of Windows affect this?  These are stored
and used by a Linux host.

DLLs in ming??-*.noarch packages install on Fedora hosts and can be
used by programs running under Fedora's Linux kernel such as other
MinGW tools such as i686-w64-mingw32-ld, etc.

Ultimately the MinGW tools are used to create EXE and DLL files (PE32
format) that are targeted to run on Windows hosts.  The Windows run
time linking system (at least on Windows 10) won't load DLL files
without execute premissions.

I solved the problem in my case by adding execute permissions to the
DLL files after transfering them to my target Windows host.

If those files were accessed by a Windows host via a network file
system (such as NFS or CIFS) "in place" I would expect EXEs attempting
to use them to fail.

I'm not sure if DLLs without execute premissions work under Wine, I
didn't try.  But I would expect that case to fail also.

The Fedora MinGW packages are a truly awesome demonstration of the
power of free software and I thank everyone involved in their creation
and maintenance.

They will not fail. Wine only requires read permission.
Comment 6 Gene Hightower 2016-03-31 19:14:33 UTC 
All the other DLL did install with execute on my system:

So I assumed this was an oversight on the zlib package, hence I reported it.$ ls -l /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/*.dll

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 16:05:38 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 19:27:21 UTC 
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
