Yes, that was what I was referring to. They are incredibly useful. Is
there any way we could get them into the upstream packages?


Thanks,

Title:
  mingw32 and mingw-w64 need zlib-dev and pthreads libraries

Status in “mingw-w64” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “mingw32” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I maintain open source software that cross-compiles for Windows using
  mingw. We would like our users to be able to compile on Ubuntu.
  Currently they cannot because there is not zlib-dev and there is no
  pthreads in the Ubuntu mingw-w64 build system.

  Are there any plans to add these? It is actually quite difficult to
  build them from sources on mingw, as it requires editing the
  distribution files. They should be included as part of the base
  system.

  Also, the program configure-mingw and configure-mingw64 are also not
  provided, and they should be.
