From: Lars Uffmann on 1 Jun 2010 05:59 Hey everyone! I'm currently working to bring the Eclipse/MinGW/MSYS installation guide up to date, and discovered that devs made a horrible mess out of the MSYS/MinGW installation, as can be seen here: http://www.mingw.org/ What it boils down to, is: I used to install (according to guides) MinGW first, then MSYS. Now you need MSYS core components (and a lot of them) in order to even *get* the latest MinGW files (script on page). So I wanted to get MSYS - only to find out that they currently do not provide an installer. So, according to recommendation, I started downloading the components I need - only to find that this is an iterative process: downloading component a & b, try the script, get error message hinting to component c, that I need, retrying, finding out about component d and so on and so forth. Really poor judgement there to remove the installer feature / set up the MinGW/MSYS download page. The thing is - I'll create a guide anyways, but I am currently getting an error message (by wget, I guess) that it needs msys-crypto-1.0.0.dll - and that file isn't contained in the MSYS libcrypt dll download. Has anyone recently succeeded in installing MSYS from scratch with these component downloads? I'd like a pointer as to where that dll is contained. I'll start downloading each and every component now to find out, and that sucks.. Once I succeed, the updated guide will be posted at http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Eclipse,_CDT_&_MingW_&_MSYS_Setup_Guide Cheers, Lars
