[Mingw-users] Which packages are required for MSYS manual installation?

[Luis L. <lui...@gm...>]

Hello,

I've tried to find the list of newer packages to manually install MSYS.

Looking at the wiki:

http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS

There is no link to a recommended manual installation mechanism.

Looking at the SF files:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/

Seems that BaseSystem got several releases since 1.0.11.

At this time, the following are the files I've used to build a 1.0.11
msys installation:

msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar.gz
findutils-4.3.0-MSYS-1.0.11-3-bin.tar.gz
MSYS-1.0.11-20090120-dll.tar.gz
tar-1.19.90-MSYS-1.0.11-2-bin.tar.gz
autoconf2.5-2.61-1-bin.tar.bz2
autoconf-4-1-bin.tar.bz2
perl-5.6.1-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2
crypt-1.1-1-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2
bison-2.3-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2

Elements are extracted in that particular order.

Does anyone have a hint on which newer packages replace those one?

I've started with this:

msysCORE-1.0.14-1-msys-1.0.14-bin.tar.lzma
findutils-4.4.2-2-msys-1.0.13-bin.tar.lzma
tar-1.23-1-msys-1.0.13-bin.tar.lzma
libiconv-1.13.1-2-msys-1.0.13-bin.tar.lzma
libiconv-1.13.1-2-msys-1.0.13-dll-2.tar.lzma
sed-4.2.1-2-msys-1.0.13-bin.tar.lzma
bison-2.4.2-1-msys-1.0.13-bin.tar.lzma

But things like libiconv just showed up as dependency of tar.

Is there any document that outlines the newer installation procedure
for the packages?

I've tried search the list but no keyword combination has triggered a
good source of information.

Thank you in advance.
