I don't believe we should be recommending ucrt64 for windows. We have two testing jobs, one cross compiled from Mingw Fedora, and one native under Msys2, both of which are validating mingw64. We have no ucrt64 testing. IIUC, Stefan's QEMU installer binaries are also mingw32/mingw64 based, not ucrt64. With regards, Daniel

All msys2 environment use mingw64, but mingw64 can target different windows runtime. From what I understand, any difference or bug would be a bug for mingw64 project, not for us. UCRT is now the default target used by mingw64 [1]. More information on this difference here [2]. Migrating to UCRT64 seems to be the best way in the future. All that said, I'll update this recommendation to MINGW64 for V2 of this series, [1] https://www.mingw-w64.org/changelog/#v1200-2024-05-29 [2] https://github.com/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/blob/master/mingw-w64-doc/howto-build/ucrt-vs-msvcrt.txt > With regards, > Daniel
