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.

You can use both zlib and pthreads from my PPA: https:/ /launchpad. net/~mingw- packages/ +archive/ ppa
It contains some win32 and win64 binaries in deb packages compiled by mingw compilers.
