2 There are a few pre-built binaries included with this code distribution.
3 They originate from a few different sources. Feel free to not trust them.
5 These apps are external to the feisty meow build...
7 production/msys hierarchy:
8 This is copied directly from the msys project of MingW.
9 It has had zip.exe, unzip.exe and short_path.exe added to it:
12 The zip and unzip tools are from the info-zip project. They are somewhat
13 antiquated but still work great on the various 32-bit windows platforms.
14 These utilities are self-identified as: "Zip 2.3 (November 29th 1999)"
15 To get a more recent version of the zip utilities or build them yourself,
16 they can be found at the site: http://www.info-zip.org/
19 This tool is built by the code bootstrapping process (that is, by
20 scripts/generator/bootstrap_build.sh), but unfortunately it is
21 desperately needed for windows builds to work nicely with clam and
22 bash. If you don't have it, and your visual studio installation path
23 has spaces in it, then you may have trouble bootstrapping. You can
24 manually change your VC root variable to a short path version, as
25 reported by dir /x). This tool can be replaced by any newer working
26 version created by a bootstrap build.
