Comment:
I initially downloaded mingw-get-setup.exe from the OSDN website and ran it. it
seems to use some files from osdn, then others come from sf. I recall that some
of the packages were upgraded from what the setup was looking for. In other
words, there was a revision number in the file on sf for example, the setup is
looking for blablabla-1-blablabla but when I follow it to the url it's trying
to get it from, I found that blablabla-2-blablabla is out there, and
blablabla-1-blablabla doesn't exist so it fails to download it. I'm going to
jump into it tomorrow, I have a virtual all setup which has none of this
installed. I'll just download the setup, and begin the install, document my
choices, then what's missing and what it should be. What I did initially to
work around the problem was to rename blablabla-2-blablabla to
blablabla-1-blablabla and drop it in the cache folder, re-run the install and
it picked up on the cached version and all was good. The install works until it
gets into the mingw-get portion of the setup. This is where we find broken
links.

Ticket details:
I have patched together my copy of MinGW based on a very old install and a lot
of manual downloading (about 3 weeks ago), I know there were a lot of broken
links. My copy works great, I've compiled a ton of libraries into mine. I've
also pulled MSYS2, and setup automounts to MinGW, TDM-MinGW, and MinGW-64. I've
been in IT for over 20 years and I think this project is amazing or at least
can be once again. MinGW-64, and MSYS2 are cool as well, but pacman, although
it works nice if you KNOW the name of the package you want is a pain. i am/was/
have been a Windows programmer for many years, also a Unix admin for several
years, and Windows admin as well. So I have skills across the board, but
recently I've been retraining myself to be all about MinGW as it offers me an
equal development environment between my linux and windows systems. I've been
slowly moving over to Linux as I can't stand Microsoft and I'm so tired of
giving up my whole machine for what Microsoft tools can do when I can do them
for a fraction of the overhead under MinGW. Sorry about the book, but I'm not
sure if/and what kind of help you all need on this so I thought I'd toss in a
little summary. I'm interested in helping on the project. Let me know. my email
address is [email protected]
thanks, Chris
