badman74: that doesn't sound like a "hell of a time" if all you have to do is open git shell... In any case you also probably have an old version of MinGW.
Well I suppose the build isn't that bad... but I am kinda lazy.
And my version of git in mingw is 1.9.0 so it isn't that old....
So far i have had no luck making it work in mingw even when upgrading git
This would be fine if i could build in git shell but that doesn't work for me either.
So i have to use git shell to get the submodules and then mingw to build...
As i said i am kinda lazy :p
