Allowing later versions of mingw from chocolatey

[Honeybunch]

I ran into some code for a PR here: KhronosGroup/KTX-Software#574
Where I needed a newer version of gcc from mingw to avoid some compiler bugs. The newer version of mingw on chocolatey seems to work fine so I removed the explicit versioning

I second this. I think i'm running into a bug caused by older mingw.

Ideally this could be exposed as an option.

MinGW version 8.1.0 is far to old. New builds are available here: https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases

I vote this be an optional parameter to the runner like cc, static, etc.

I could see a default value being 8.1.0.

This would prevent others who rely on an older version of gcc, pthreads, or other libraries.

I have a PR which allows for an optional version, this would allow the github action to use the same v2. Unless that is a requirement for github actions to increase every time. If we can't get this merged in within a week or two, I might just use my branch and action. I also would like to see if we can add caching or a custom image, so the install time isn't 5 plus minutes.

Sorry, I was in no fit state to deal with my GitHub Actions for the past year. I'll try to keep up in the future.

This has been implemented by somebody else and released. Thank you very much for your input.

You PR'd the wrong one imo. I moved on from this project and action, but you would have broken anyone trying to rely on the default being 8.1.0. You made it so they can't install a specific version either.
