Oh wow, you are brave! :-)  I guess nobody yet got that far that he /
she would try to build the SDK & even use that for something useful.

So far the MinGW build is still a very experimental thing; I mostly use
that when I develop something Windows-only because I can still keep my
workflow, but as the binaries built with the MinGW SDK will be
incompatible with the LibreOffice release builds, I am not sure it makes
much sense to invest effort in that at this stage.

But probably you have same special need why you are doing this - can you
please tell me what is your goal?

Either way - thanks for looking into this! :-)

All the best,
