Adapting FancyLibs from Debian 12 Bookworm to 13 Trixie, catching up MinGW 10, maybe MinGW 11
Work in Progress!
Introduction
About every 2 years Debian introduces a new release.
At the time I'm writing this Debian 13 Trixie had been released 2 days ago, 2025-08-09.
The following notes track the adaption of FancyLibs beeing adapted and released for this new Debian release and are based on similar priror lists like Adapting FancyLibs from Debian 11 Bullseye to 12 Bookworm,
MinGW has never been fully upgraded to Debian 12, we won’t upgrade that to Debian 13.
Adapting FancyLibs to new Debian Release
The steps per sub project are the same as described for "HelloWorld projects* in Adapting PBA to new Debian Release, with -o "arch|unix" (before resp. without MinGW adaption) or -o "arch|unix|9" after MinGW adaption.
Phase 1, FancyLibs arch/unix
Architecture remark: We’re trying to add arm64 support.
FancyLibs as well as most to all C++ libraries are developed as PBA-Category and Generation fancylibs-3.8, so existing setups can be maintained with fancylibs 3.7 from PBA-C. and G. fancylibs-3.
Because of circumstances we include some mingw-10 builds, i.e. Phase 3 of Adapting FancyLibs from Debian 11 Bullseye to 12 Bookworm, later eventually MinGW-9 to MinGW-10, along Phase 1 here.
