 +===== For Windows developers =====
 +Rough list of prerequisites for building with MinGW on Windows
 +
 +If in doubt whether to get 32 or 64 bit versions use 32 bit ones, they are more 
 +universal and tend to be less broken.
 +
 +
 +==== MinGW compiler ====
 +Compiler should match the one that was used to build packages ideally.
 +
 +  * We will user *mingw64 rubenvb* release
 +  * Lastest stable release is gcc 4.8.0

 +win32_rubenvb.7z/download|Download]]
 +
 +
 +==== 7zip ====
 +We will need 7zip to extract various archives
 +
 +[[http://www.7-zip.org/download.html|Homepage]]
 +
 +
 +[[http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z920.exe|32bit Installer]]
 +
 +
 +==== Python3 (to extract rpms) ====
 +We will need python3 to use download-mingw-rpm.py script. 
 +If you don't plan to use it you can safely skip this step.
 +
 +We get python3, whatever is the lastes stable release.
 +
 +[[http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.5|Releases]]
 +
 +[[http://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-335/|Download]]
 +
 +[[http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.3.5/python-3.3.5.amd64.msi|Installer]]
 +
 +Install Python and be sure to check "addd python.exe to path" installer checkbox.
 +
 +==== download-mingw-rpm.py ====
 +We get download-mingw-rpm.py script from github. It uses Python3 and should fetch and 
 +unpack rpm files for us.
 +
 +[[https://github.com/mkbosmans/download-mingw-rpm/blob/master/download-
 +mingw-rpm.py|View Script]]
 +
 +[[https://github.com/mkbosmans/download-mingw-rpm/raw/master/download-
 +mingw-rpm.py|Download Script]]
 +
 +Usage:
 +
 +  * Launch cmd.exe
 +  * Navigate to folder where the script was saved
 +  * Make sure that python can access 7z.exe
 +  * Run command and wait, it should extract the packages into your current directory
 +
 +<code bash>c:\Python33\python.exe download-mingw-rpm.py -u http://ftp.wsisiz.edu.pl/pub/linux/fedora/linux/updates/18/i386/ --deps mingw32-webkitgtk mingw32-glib-networking mingw32-gdb mingw32-gstreamer-plugins-good</code>

 +/m/|Fedora 18 packages]]
 +
 +The above URL for some reason does not work with the script.
 +
 +==== MSYS ====
 +Msys contains shell and some small utilities
 +
 +[[http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary

 +[[http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.12.2-win32-x86.exe|Installer]]
 +
 +When installing check the installer checkbox "add to path"
 +
 +
 +==== Bazaar ====
 +[[http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/WindowsDownloads|Homepage]]
 +
 +We will get 2.4 Stable Release (standalone) 
 +
 +[[http://launchpad.net/bzr/2.4/2.4.2/+download/bzr-2.4.2-1-setup.exe|Installer]]
 +
 +When installing check the installer checkbox "add to path"
 +
 +==== Vala ====
 +[[http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/vala/0.20/vala-0.20.0.tar.xz|Source]]
 +
 +==== Globbing it all together ====
 +
 +Extracted rpms msys and mingw packages should form uniform unix like folder.
 +You use msys.bat to launch a shell
