|

|
|---|
| 9 | mingw-get is a tool to assist users in the management of MinGW and MSYS
|
|---|
| 10 | software installations. Configured via an online XML database, which is
|
|---|
| 11 | managed by the project maintainers, it offers a choice of graphical and
|
|---|
| 12 | command line driven user interfaces facilitating selective download and
|
|---|
| 13 | installation of packages provided by the project.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | The XML database provides maintainers with a mechanism for the
|
|---|
| 16 | specification of inter-package dependencies; this permits configuration
|
|---|
| 17 | of any package, such that the end user may elect to install just that
|
|---|
| 18 | specific package, leaving mingw-get to ensure that all dependencies will
|
|---|
| 19 | be automatically satisfied at installation time.
