libgit2: Done. https://github.com/jakebolewski/LibGit2.jl/pull/10 (failing lots of tests, but it's a start)
And found a decent BinDeps solution at least for the binaries we package ourselves. How about using usr/lib32 and usr/lib64? There's already some code in BinDeps for the Linux distributions that use those names, why not use it to our advantage on Windows? https://github.com/JuliaLang/BinDeps.jl/pull/83 On Thursday, June 19, 2014 7:56:21 PM UTC-7, Tony Kelman wrote: > > In that case the binaries were packaged by an upstream project, so we have > no control over what folder the libraries are packaged in.
