Description

The mingw-w64 ports of OCaml require access to GCC, the assembler and binutils. This set of packages performs two tasks. Firstly, it ensures that the directory containing the runtime DLLS are added to PATH. A typical Cygwin installation requires C:\cygwin64\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\bin to be added to PATH, for example.

Secondly, for opam's internally managed Cygwin installation, they install shim executables to provide the cygpath utility along with all tool-prefixed programs from the -gcc-core, -gcc-g++ and -binutils packages from the mingw64-i686 and mingw64-x86_64 package sets.

In earlier versions of mingw-w64-shims, the mingw-w64-shims package formed part of this set. Installing mingw-w64-shims is no longer necessary.

Build status

check.ci.ocaml.org has no results for any version of mingw-w64-shims in its run of against opam-repository 8a77e58. check.ci only builds the packages that opam can install on its Linux image (Debian, x86_64). It leaves out packages for other systems, packages whose system library is missing from that image, and the packages that depend on them.
