Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
mingw-get is a tool to assist users in the management of MinGW and MSYS
|
|
software installations. Configured via an online XML database, which is
|
|
managed by the project maintainers, it offers a choice of graphical and
|
|
command line driven user interfaces facilitating selective download and
|
|
installation of packages provided by the project.
|
|
|
|
The XML database provides maintainers with a mechanism for the
|
|
specification of inter-package dependencies; this permits configuration
|
|
of any package, such that the end user may elect to install just that
|
|
specific package, leaving mingw-get to ensure that all dependencies will
|
|
be automatically satisfied at installation time.
