- Windows PDB files are always installed
- There are configuration settings for Windows, that may not generate
- PDB files. As such the install utility will break because those files
- are not found. Add an optional variable that can be set to not install
- PDB files.
+ There are build configuration or flag settings for Windows that may not
+ generate PDB files. If those files are not generated then the install
+ utility will fail because those PDB files are not found. An optional
+ variable, DISABLE_PDB_FILES, was added to not install PDB files.

+ - Add mingw CMake support with a toolchain file
+
+ There has been a number of mingw issues that has been linked under
+ HDFFV-10845. It has been decided to implement the CMake cross-compiling
+ technique of toolchain files. We will use a linux platform with the mingw
+ compiler stack for testing. Only the C language is fully supported, and
+ the error tests are skipped. The C++ language works for static but shared
+ builds has a shared library issue with the mingw Standard Exception Handling
+ library, which is not available on Windows. Fortran has a common cross-compile
+ problem with the fortran configure tests.
