(http://www.7-zip.org/)\n\nDirect link to the archive:\n http://inkscape.modevia.com/git/mingw4git.7z\n\nGood luck!\n-- \n.marius\n\n"},{"id":"49292","messageId":"a1bbc6950708010208v15071005w3bcc471bef172fcc@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"9299","inReplyTo":"46B016FC.4050005@trolltech.com","subject":"Re: MinGW build environment for Git","fromName":"Dmitry Kakurin","fromEmail":"dmitry.kakurin@gmail.com","sentAt":"2007-08-01T09:08:22Z","receivedAt":"2007-08-01T09:08:22Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"dmitry.kakurin@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"On 7/31/07, Marius Storm-Olsen wrote:\n> Dmitry Kakurin said the following on 30.07.2007 01:14:\n> > I want to be able to build MinGW port of Git on Windows.

I was downloading Git under Cygwin and then copied it\nto MSys. Somewhere along the way I got confused and copied the wrong\ndirectory.\nIt works now!\nThank you!\n\n- Dmitry\n"}]}
