Description Johnny Hughes 2011-12-16 03:37:41 UTC
Description of problem:  There are mingw32*.noarch.rpm packages in the i386 arch for RHEL 6.2.  All these packages require things that would be in mingw32-gcc.i686 ... however there is no mingw32-gcc.i686 RPM.

package: mingw32-boost-1.41.0-3.el6.noarch
  unresolved deps: 
     mingw32(libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll)
package: mingw32-gettext-0.17-12.el6.5.noarch
  unresolved deps: 
     mingw32(libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll)
     mingw32(libgomp-1.dll)
package: mingw32-pcre-8.10-2.el6.5.noarch
  unresolved deps: 
     mingw32(libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll)
package: mingw32-pthreads-2.8.0-10.el6.7.noarch
  unresolved deps: 
     mingw32(libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll)
package: mingw32-qpid-cpp-0.10-1.el6.noarch
  unresolved deps: 
     mingw32(libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll)


This shows mingw32*.noarch.rpm files as active on the i386 arches:

Comment 2 Kai Tietz 2011-12-16 08:32:09 UTC
Hmm, we had this issue already.  As defined for mingw-* packages, the binary-packages are only available for x86_64 host-architecture.  So those DLL files mentioned here are part of the mingw-gcc package, which isn't present for i?86 architecture.

As far as I remember was dgregor handling this for RHEL 6.2.  Not sure, if he missed those packages, or if the issue isn't resolvable.

Comment 3 Kai Tietz 2012-01-17 17:22:48 UTC
Well, that those DLL file-packages are noarch seems to me the right thing.
As long as x86_64 shall architecture shall be the only architecture for mingw-packages, I don't see how to resolve this issue.

Comment 5 Matt Newsome 2012-10-09 09:46:58 UTC
Thanks for letting us know. mingw32-gcc is provided via the optional channel for x86_64 only. Additionally, as per the scope of coverage:

https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/production/soc.html

the Optional channel is not supported. We can't unfortunately resolve this issue.
