Description Juro Bystricky 2016-08-15 17:26:19 UTC 
All Krogoth recipes fail to cross-compile for Windows using meta-mingw layer.
In particular, the following should/used to work (jethro with meta-mingw layer):

SDKMACHINE="i686-mingw32"
MACHINE="qemux86"
TCLIBC="baremetal"

bitbake gcc-cross-canadian-i586

or 

SDKMACHINE="i686-mingw32"
MACHINE="qemux86"
bitbake meta-toolchain

or 

SDKMACHINE="i686-mingw32"
MACHINE="qemux86"
bitbake nativesdk-make
Comment 1 Juro Bystricky 2016-08-17 23:32:35 UTC 
Various patches in:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-mingw-contrib/log/?h=juro/krogoth

I am able to build:

SDKMACHINE="i686-mingw32"
MACHINE="qemux86"
TCLIBC="baremetal"
bitbake gcc-cross-canadian-i586


SDKMACHINE="i686-mingw32"
MACHINE="qemux86"
bitbake meta-toolchain

SDKMACHINE="i686-mingw32"
MACHINE="qemux86"
bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk

However, the resulting SDKs still need to be repacked (.xz is not supported by Windows) and also there is a bunch of unneeded compiler variants (musl, UClibc),
which are actually all identical.
