Yeah, compiling `grep` with MSYS2 is as easy as `configure && make && make install`, woohoo. The only additional dependency it creates is `pcre` but this is ok I guess.
Now the question is: would it be ok to include a pre-compiled grep.exe in this script or add a few lines to the script to download, unpack and build `grep` on the fly to make it more transparent where it comes from? I'd vote for the latter option but it will increase runtime of the script signifanctly because compiling `grep` will take some time (to be exact it is rather running `configure` which is slow). --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/560#issuecomment-193653266
