Hi,
I will not deny the points you make above. It is indeed only for my
personal use. That could be changed of course. I haven't gotten to getting
a readme written cause I often change a lot of stuff.
If you want to try my scripts, I suggest you download the latest release
source package from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchain%20sources/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/release/
(And you have to merge the "envsetup" folder from git cause I forgot to
include it in the source package, I already rectified this on the master
branch)
There is no automatic source downloading included, and the abovementioned
source package includes *everything* needed to replicate the build.
Just make sure texinfo, bison, flex etc. are installed, and run
./buildall.sh. You can disable the build configurations you don't want in
that script by simply commenting out those you don't need.
If you need any more information, please ask. I am currently on vacation,
so communication may be slow. I'll be back home around the 20th September.
