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.
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.
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
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
