You currently also need a patched version of the w32api mingw package, to

(Alternately you can fetch the source for the w32api package from
www.sourceforge.net/projects/mingw and apply the patch yourself)
-You will need to compile and install the msrpc-mingw package.
-You can then build moonshot from the MSYS shell:
+You will need to compile and install the msrpc-mingw package, which wraps
+MIDL.EXE and the RPC API to make it usable from gcc.
+
+ git clone git://github.com/ssssam/msrpc-mingw.git
+ cd msrpc-mingw
+ MIDL=/c/Program\ Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0/bin/MIDL.exe ./waf configure --prefix=c:/build
+ ./waf
+ ./waf install
+
+You can then configure moonshot from the MSYS shell:
+
+ ACLOCAL="aclocal -I/c/build/share/aclocal" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/build/lib/pkgconfig \
+ ./autogen.sh --disable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/c/build
+
+The configure script looks for various tools that it may not be able to locate
+automatically. In these cases you will get an error message, and you can set the
+environment variable described there to the location of the program. For example,
+if LIB.EXE is not found you will need to run
ACLOCAL="aclocal -I/c/build/share/aclocal" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/build/lib/pkgconfig \
- ./autogen.sh --prefix=/c/build --disable-maintainer-mode
+ MSVC_LIB="/c/Program Files/...VC location../bin/lib.exe" \
+ ./autogen.sh --disable-maintainer-mode
+
+If this succeeds, you're ready to build!
+
make
make icons
make installer
+The icons and installer targets make a few assumptions based on the install
+prefix. You may have to edit Makefile.am to edit the paths if you haven't
+followed the instructions exactly.
Weird things that might go wrong
--------------------------------
MSYS is a little fragile, here are some things to try if you get weird failures
of any component:
-# Make sure your PATH looks like this:
-# /c/build/bin:/c/tools/python:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin
-# so that there are no entries before these that might override a shell tool.
+ * Make sure your PATH looks like this:
+ /c/build/bin:/c/tools/python:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin
+ so that there are no entries before these that might override a shell tool.
-# Sometimes TMP is set and this breaks some of the tools
-export TMP=
+ * Sometimes TMP is set and this breaks some of the tools. Run:
+ export TMP=
+ to fix this.
-# Make
+ * Don't ever use \ in paths (except to escape spaces) - always use /c/build/bin
+ not c:\build\bin. Otherwise shell scripts break all over the place.
