for this the bootstrap script is available. But I'm sorry I don't know if this 
will work with msys/mingw because you will need all the autoconf and automake 
and auto-even-more packages for that to work. I don't know what is required 
for it to work properly, sorry.

Probably easies is if you could stay with you eclipse project. If you can 
compile the library with this, try if you get the GUI done as well, just put 
all files from all subdirectories except the 2 burrTxt and burrTxt2 into the 
project and add the include paths and libraries ...

Now well as you cited me correctly I said "kind of". You can find 
documentation about this piece generator in the GUI documentation 
(doc_src/userGuide.t2t). It works by first using the normal assembler to find 
all possible arrangements pieces can have and then converting those 
assemblies to proper shapes. This is easiest done in the GUI as otherwise 
quite some programming is required. So it would probably be wise to generate 
your shapes with the GUI and then later on load a file with those shapes and 
use them.
