ABI issues are fundamental problem with C++, not really mingw's fault. If you have to use binary library in C++, then you have to use the same compiler it was compiled with and with the same compiler settings.
- int_19h 6y agoABI issues are a fundamental problem with having many different ABIs - things are much better on Linux, where there's a clear standard, and everybody conforms to it. VC is the de facto ABI standard on Win32, but I'm not even sure to what extent it's documented, beyond the bits that are needed for COM. In any case, I'm not trying to blame anyone here - just pointing out that MinGW is a second-class citizen when it comes to C/C++ development on Windows, and this is usually more important than having access to MSYS2.
