MinGW Distro: nuwen.net/mingw.html

Here are the build scripts for my MinGW distro.

You'll need to run them in MSYS2, which you can set up without an installer:

Go to: https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/latest
Download: msys2-base-x86_64-<RELEASE_DATE>.tar.xz
Extract it to: C:\Temp\msys64
Run: msys2_shell.cmd
Restart MSYS2 when you're instructed to.

In MSYS2, repeatedly run pacman -Syuu until you see:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 mingw32 is up to date
 mingw64 is up to date
 ucrt64 is up to date
 clang64 is up to date
 msys is up to date
:: Starting core system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

In MSYS2, run: pacman -Su cmake diffutils m4 make nasm ninja patch tar texinfo
In MSYS2, repeatedly run pacman -Syuu again. Answer Y if you're asked:
```
:: Replace pkg-config with msys/pkgconf? [Y/n]
```
You can customize the terminal's appearance with Right Click > Options.... I prefer:
- Text: Consolas, 16pt
- Window: 120 Columns, 50 Rows

Important Notes

The build scripts assume that:

C:\MinGW contains the previous version of the distro.
- This assumption is centralized in 0_append_distro_path.sh, where it says export X_DISTRO_ROOT=/c/mingw.
C:\Temp\gcc is usable as a working directory.
- This assumption isn't centralized.
The build scripts live next to the sources, not directly within C:\Temp\gcc.
- I put the build scripts and the sources into C:\Temp\gcc\sources-VERSION.

I highly recommend that you execute each build script by hand before attempting to run it in one shot.
