I had high hopes when I saw the title. I was expecting something for getting MinGW precompiled libraries like openssl, curl or boost; which I find needing more than often.
- charliesome 15y agoCygwin has its own built-in package manager
- felipeota 15y agoYes, but Cygwin makes your software GPL, and that's not something I can do.
- xpaulbettsx 15y agoIf you need a sane MinGW environment, the MSys Git dev environment is by-far the easiest way to do so, it will download and set it up all in one shot.
- ferventcoder 15y agoIt could be a chocolatey package. ;)
- felipeota 15y agoI am using the vanillia one and it is very good. The only problem I have with it is that I have to compile everything for it. Sometimes doing so is not so straight-forward and can take a lot of time, boost being one example.
- ferventcoder 15y agocinst curl - it's there. For the others, just because they are not there yet, doesn't mean they won't be. Creating packages is pretty simple. This is the main part of the curl package: https://github.com/ferventcoder/nugetpackages/blob/master/curl/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1 https://github.com/ferventcoder/nugetpackages/blob/master/cu...
- felipeota 15y agoYes, that's true. But I need a sane build environment with development packages. I would like to be able to compile against libcurl and openssl as easy as it is on Ubuntu or Fedora. Something like Cygwin but without the GPL requirement on final builds.
- ferventcoder 15y agoI think CoApp is going to be the answer for what you are trying to do. Chocolatey starts after compilation. If someone is already providing libcurl and openssl, these are easily offered as choco packages. Once CoApp comes out, it's highly likely that there may be some integration with it.
