You can download the result at http://lilypond.org/mingit/mingit-1.4.9993-1.mingw.exe the odd version number was because I was too lazy to write code to extract the version number from the repository automatically. I don't actually have a windows copy, so it's basically untested. However, I did succeed in running rev-list in wine. PS. I'd be interested in comments on using GUB from others. GUB is a cross-compiling build tool, probably best described as a "Poor Man's Conary". Once I have the boilerplate code committed, building this installer should amount to darcs get http://lilypond.org/vc/gub.darcs/ gub cd gub make -f Makefile.mingit bootstrap mingw (yes, GUB itself is still hosted in Darcs.
