Creating XZ Utils Windows package with build.bash
=================================================
Introduction
------------
The script build.bash can be used for building XZ Utils with
GCC + MinGW-w64 under MSYS2, under the ancient MSYS, or
cross-compiling from GNU/Linux. The script will create a package
with binaries and documentation in a hopefully-convenient bundle.
NOTE: build.bash requires files that are only included
in release tarballs. If building from xz.git, a distribution
tarball should be created first.
For native builds on Windows, the CMake-based build described
in the file INSTALL-MinGW-w64_with_CMake.txt is simpler to do as
it has no need for MSYS2 and it works from xz.git without extra
steps. For cross-compilation and package creation the script can
be convenient though.
These instructions are for making a package with build.bash and thus
don't apply to normal Autotool-based builds under Cygwin or MSYS2.
Usage
-----
First copy the file COPYING.MinGW-w64-runtime.txt from MinGW-w64
to this directory. It contains copyright and license notices that
apply to the MinGW-w64 runtime that gets statically linked into
the XZ Utils binaries being built. build.bash will include the file
in the final package.
Put i686 and/or x86_64 GCC-based toolchain in PATH depending on
which builds are wanted.
Optional: Put the 7z tool from 7-Zip or p7zip in PATH. Without
this, .zip and .7z files won't be created from the finished "pkg"
directory contents.
Run build.bash:
bash windows/build.bash
Note that it does an in-tree build so the build files will be mixed
with the source files in the same directory tree.
