Win32 build environment

[James Raehl]

MSYS-1.0.11 has been running fine for a couple weeks on all my 
computers, both in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.  The RXVT version is 
running fine on 64-bit Windows Vista (I didn't try the non-RXVT 
version).  Version 1.0.10 in RXVT window on 64-bit Windows Vista went 
into an endless loop, creating windows like crazy.

The desktop MSYS icon, as installed, uses the non-RXVT setup.  The Start 
menu has both the RXVT and non-RXVT versions to select.

If there are other uses for MSYS from within Gnucash, other than the 
command window which I use for building, I didn't test them.

MSYS-1.0.11 INSTALL PROCEDURE

This is to a fully downloaded and built Gnucash build folder structure.

1. Uninstall Msys 1.0.10
2. Download to c:\soft\msys (select the direct link from within this 
page, if nothing happens)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download
3. Execute MSYS-1.0.11.exe from within c:\soft\msys with the following 
prompt replies (defaults for anything else):
   Folder: c:\soft\msys (without the 1.0 sub-folder)
   MingW installed: yes (I also tried no, after renaming c:/soft/mingw, 
but didn't get a request to install it)
   Mingw installation at c:/soft/mingw (forward slashes)
   Add mount bindings: y
   Use rxvt (if it asks): yes
