c++ dev setup

Special Notes

• Do NOT use cygwin - apps compiled in cygwin depend on cygwin. Apps compiled in mingw can run without mingw.

Prerequisits

• Windows 2008 32 bit
• Mingw
• node.js
• git - install THIRD option
• Link Shell Extension - used to setup symlinks for browsers
• imagemagick - used to take screenshots

My Environment

• all devel - Sublime

#!/bin/bash

echo "Installing Dev Dependencies"

# first install curl 

cd /c/Users/Administrator/Downloads
tar -xf curl-7.20.0.tar.gz
cd curl-7.20.0
./configure --prefix=/mingw
