Can threadx support mingw32 on win10

Now,We can see threadx support windows only in VS2019 compiler. Is threadx support mingw 32 on windows later?

Hi @yishuizi.

I am curious. What is your use case for that? It is possible to use containers or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to compile and run the Linux version on Windows. What more would you get if we were to add mingw support?

In any case, given the size of our team, I doubt we have the resources to maintain yet another compiler port. That said, we would be happy to accept contributions by developers willing to maintain this.

Hi @yishuizi.

Can you share more details about your use case, please? It is hard to evaluate your request without understanding why you need it.

Moreover, the title of the issue mentions Windows 10. Microsoft is ramping down support for that version. I can definitely say that anything we could do around mingw32 will only consider Windows 11 or later.

The toolchain I use for developing MCU is the GCC compiler. If Mingw on x86 is supported, some compilation options would be generic and consistent, and some static libraries might only have a Minggw version. The VS compiler is rarely used for embedded development, and I'm not very familiar with it.
