I'm pretty sure you can setup MinGW to build on Linux, though I
haven't.
Yeah. On Debian it just installs and seems to work. But there must
be more involved, somewhere, to have it go from source to nsis
installer. I say this because I thought the instructions would
enable me to cross compile, and so I installed the prerequisites
on Linux and gave it a go. The ./configure failed it's tests
for libraries, because of course the Windows libraries would
not run on Linux.
Agreed on the binary tarball, but brace yourself: the source tarball
is
not always up-to-date to the current version either.
Well, if the developers grant my wish then it _would_ be current. :)
