I think it is very valuable, especially because except Johannes Sixt, I have yet to encounter a person wanting "naive" Windows Git, but not hiding under the next rock when it comes to work on it.] On Sat, 26 May 2007, Han-Wen Nienhuys wrote: > Johannes Schindelin escreveu: > > > > On Fri, 25 May 2007, Johannes Sixt wrote: > > > >> * I personally think that the files should go into > >> > >> $PROGRAMFILES/Git/{bin,share,lib} > >> instead of > >> $PROGRAMFILES/Git/usr/{bin,share,lib} > > > > Agree.

I recently compiled tcl and tk from scratch on MinGW. (No cross-compile.) Worked out of the box: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.4.14-src.tar.gz http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tk8.4.14-src.tar.gz (Now, if only Python worked like that...) There's a bash src in the Snapshot package of MinGW: http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/bash-2.05b-MSYS-src.tar.bz2?download Ciao, Dscoh
