N.B. If you're interested in building Midipix using this script, please join the project's IRC channel #midipix on Freenode and ask for the address of the internal repositories.
N.B. If in doubt, consult the fault-tolerant & highly optimised 3D laser show-equipped usage screen w/ ./build.sh -h or a hungry lion might eat you alive.
A Midipix distribution consists of the following: * the native Midipix toolchain, consisting of perk, gcc, its dependencies, and binutils, * musl, a lightweight, fast, simple, and free libc[1] used by Midipix, * the Midipix runtime components that bridge the gap between the libc and the executive subsystems of all Windows NT-derived Windows OS starting with and including Windows XP, and * a steadily increasing number of 3rd party open source packages, as expected in any modern POSIX-compliant *nix environment, including GNU coreutils, shells, libraries such as ncurses, libressl, as well as Perl and Python.
Install the build-time dependencies listed below, clone this repository, and run the following command line within the latter:
./build.sh -a nt64 -b release -D minipix,zipdist -P -v
N.B. Busybox is not supported.
N.B. Some packages (coreutils, grep, and tar, among others) override Alpine's BusyBox utilities of the same name, as the latter are either non- conformant or defective.
The following variables are primarily defined in midipix.env and may be overriden
on a per-build basis on the command-line after the last argument, if any, e.g.:
./build.sh -a nt64 -b release -D minipix,zipdist -P -v PREFIX_ROOT="${HOME}/midipix_tmp"
Furthermore, ${HOME}/midipix_build.vars, ${HOME}/.midipix_build.vars, and/or
../midipix_build.vars are sourced during build initialisation and may contain
additional overrides, particularly ${DEFAULT_GITROOT_HEAD}.

Rebuild set of packages in isolation, along w/ their dependencies, if any, as needed, or forcibly, respectively:
./build.sh [ ... ] -r mc,zsh
./build.sh [ ... ] -r \*mc,zsh
./build.sh [ ... ] -r \*\*mc,zsh
Rebuild entire build group:
./build.sh [ ... ] -r ALL native_runtime
