Package Specific Notes

Some temporary workarounds until proper fixes or support for features are implemented. Add these to existing make invocations or place them in settings.mk (removing quotes and adding newlines as appropriate).

N.B. disabling builds with foo_BUILD= only works from the command line

Qt5

Debug Builds

Creates *d suffixed libs and pkg-config files.

qtbase_CONFIGURE_OPTS=[-debug-and-release | -debug]

Toolchains with C++11 features (i.e. *-w64-mingw32.static.posix)

There are open issues with some packages that have their own pthreads implementations

qtbase_CONFIGURE_OPTS='-no-sql-psql -no-sql-mysql' libmysqlclient_BUILD= postgresql_BUILD=

Windows XP Support

MySQL no longer supports WinXP (uses features not present in msvcrt)
