Compiler requirement with wine-mono

[Michael Cronenworth]

Hi,

I noticed that wine-mono 5.1.0 ships a binary compiler package inside of the source 
code tarball.

Why was wine-mono switched from MinGW GCC to MinGW Clang?

Is it now impossible to use MinGW GCC to build wine-mono?

I'm attempting to ship an update to wine-mono in Fedora, but I cannot use the 
bundled binary compiler to do so, and I cannot get the source to compile with MinGW GCC.

Thanks,
Michael

This is required to build the C++ WpfGfx library from .NET Core WPF.

I no longer test this configuration, but it should be possible. You
will have to configure the compiler and disable .NET Core WpfGfx with
user-config.make as explained in the release notes here:

Thanks. Either I forgot the github repo or I was unaware of it.
