I just want to tell ya dude ,

Nitrogenetics ------- 


You are a fucking legend

I have learned so much from your posts and taking things a step further and doing a lot of my own studying , testing and research you will forever be in the hall of fame to me and if I could kiss you over the web I would.


Thanks for all the work and upkeep to the thread. 


I wish someone had as comprehensive and one tenth as well written thread about gitian cross compiling as your thread is for win.x.


There are so many people who have learned from your post I don't think you have any idea.


I can tell by when I type bitcoin in google and one of the first things it tries to complete is 'building headless'   ------------


 
For anyone experiencing make freezing during parallel (-j) builds - I'd recommend using MSYS2 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/) as the shell because it doesn't have the bug.

I wasn't very impressed when I first tried it more than a year ago, but I had a look at the current MSYS2 version and it seems to be working really fine with no broken parallel builds. (Having pacman from Arch is a nice additional feature too). I think I will update the opening post soon.
