is windows-mingw_64-clang valid for ABI?

[Hannah von Reth]

Hi,

Yes when using clan, craft is expecting clang to be available.

Be warned that Qt currently doesn't support mingw clang.

To use clang I'd recommend to set the compiler to mingw-gcc, craft clang
and then change the compiler to mingw-clang.


Cheers,

Hannah
