Re: [Vala] Compiling under Windows

[Dev_NIX <devnix code gmail com>]

To solve that on MSYS you have to install the msys-libtool package on MinGW
Installation Manager. I've used Cygwin before.

I've been able to compile (after a good time investigating) GLib inside
MSYS, and after some tweakings, I've successfully compiled Vala 0.22.1 on
Windows.

Does anyone some experience or documentation to package it to an installer
like vala 0.12 and what files and bins are needed on the directory
structure inside the installation?
