We probably need to add something similar for musl and Android, right? |
|
Possibly yes. For Linux we might be able to make a universal build by statically linking musl instead, which can then also be used by people with a low glibc version. |

when to support MinGW ? |

Fixes #6231
This PR makes it so that MinGW is treated as a different platform for extension installation/loading purposes. This should make it so MinGW users no longer load extensions compiled with Visual Studio which causes crashes. This is primarily a problem for R on Windows because the R toolchain uses MinGW internally.
This PR does not yet set up the infrastructure to compile & upload extensions for MinGW, however, so the extensions will not yet be available to install for MinGW users. Instead trying to install a MinGW extension should now result in an "extension not found" error.
