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.

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.

Build-time dependencies

• Alpine Linux: bzip2 cmake coreutils g++ gawk gcc git grep gzip libintl libmagic libtool linux-headers make musl-dev patch perl-xml-parser procps sed tar wget xz zip zlib-dev
• Debian/-derived Linux: bzip2 cmake curl g++ gawk gcc git grep gzip lzma make patch procps sed tar wget xz-utils zip

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.

Building a midipix distribution

Install the above listed build-time dependencies, clone this repository, and run the following command line within the latter:

./build.sh -a nt64 -b release -D minipix,zipdist -P -v
