Subject[Csnd-dev] MSYS2
Does anyone have any experience with this project? It claims to be a
superior way of installing both MinGW and the MSYS shell and, what is
more a whole slew of packages, including most of the third-party
dependencies of Csound. And this is for both 32 bit CPU architecture
and 64 bit. T portsmf, OSC, the STK , VST, cunit, CEF, gmm++,
libmusicxml, Pure Data,

If this is good it saves oodles of time configuring and building third
party libraries. I have installed portaudio, libsndfile, and fltk
using MSYS2's "pacman" package manager. It has bison, flex, autotools,
and cmake. Not to mention the docbook stuff.

This may make it feasible to do a 64 bit build of Csound for Windows.

The following seem to be missing: portsmf, OSC, the STK , VST, cunit,
CEF, gmm++,
libmusicxml, Pure Data. But these are either buildable from source, or
do not need to be built.
