Subject: MinGW binary installer available
Message-ID: <45C9E470.7030609@xs4all.nl>

Hi, 

I had a try to see whether I could make GUB
also produce a MinGW installer for Git.

You can download the result at 

http://lilypond.org/mingit/mingit-1.4.9993-1.mingw.exe

the odd version number was because I was too lazy to write code
to extract the version number from the repository automatically.

I don't actually have a windows copy, so it's basically untested.
However, I did succeed in running rev-list in wine.


PS. I'd be interested in comments on using GUB from others.
GUB is a cross-compiling build tool, probably best described
as a "Poor Man's Conary".
 
Once I have the boilerplate code committed, building this 
installer should amount to  

  darcs get  http://lilypond.org/vc/gub.darcs/ gub
  cd gub
  make -f Makefile.mingit bootstrap mingw

(yes, GUB itself is still hosted in Darcs. Shoot me.)
