not really. so why this line:
------------------------------------
%define __debug_install_post %{mingw_debug_install_post}
------------------------------------
run the %mingw_debug_install_post right after the %install phase, while
this two line do not:
------------------------------------
%global test 1
%{?test: %define __debug_install_post %{mingw_debug_install_post}}
------------------------------------
neither
------------------------------------
%define __debug_install_post %{mingw_debug_install_post}
------------------------------------
thanks.
