'''Install MinGW before MSYS.'''

== Installing MinGW ==

#Click '''Next >''' on the Welcome screen.
#Select '''Download and Install''' and click '''Next >'''
#Read the License Agreement and click '''I agree'''
#Select '''Current''' to install the current MinGW package and click '''Next >'''
#Check the '''MinGW base tools''' and '''g++ compiler''' click '''Next'''
#'''Destination Folder''' should be '''C:\MinGW'''
#Click '''Next >'''
#Leave the default folder and click '''Install'''
#When Installation is complete, click '''Next >'''
#Click '''Finish'''
Update MinGW
#Start->All Programs->MinGW->Update
#Click '''Yes''' when Windows asks if you want to allow it.

#Read the License Agreement and click '''I agree'''
#Click '''OK''' on the pop-up window that says '''Package current being updated.'''
#Click '''Next >'''
#Click '''Next >'''
#Click '''Finish'''

==Installing MSYS==
#Download MSYS
#*http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.11.exe
#*'''Click Save'''
#Run the downloaded exe.
#Click '''Yes''' when Windows asks if you want to allow it.
#Click '''Yes''' you want to install in the '''Setup''' pop-up.
#Click '''Next''' in the Welcome Window.
#Read the License Agreement and click '''Yes'''
#Read the Information and click '''Next >'''
#The Default Destination of '''C:\msys\1.0''' is fine, so click '''Next >'''
#The default folder of '''MinGW''' is fine, so click '''Next >'''
#Click '''Install'''
#A cmd shell will pop-up asking if you want to continue with the post install, enter '''y''' enter
#Answer '''y''' you do have MinGW Installed.
#Enter '''c:/mingw''' as the path where MinGW is installed.
#It should confirm that you have make.exe installed, press any key to continue.
#Click '''Finish''' you are done the installation. (It is up to you if you want to open the documents.)
I'm not sure if it is necessary, but I did it: Install MSYS DTK.
#Install MSYS DTK: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Supplementary%20Tools/msysDTK-1.0.1/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe/download
##Click '''Save File'''
##Run the downloaded exe.
##Click '''Yes''' allow the program to make changes.
##Click '''Yes''' to install.
##Click '''Next >''' on the Welcome screen.
##Read the License Agreement and click '''Yes'''
##Confirm the Destination Directory is set to '''C:\msys\1.0''' and click '''Next >'''
##Click '''Next''' on the '''Select Components''' screen.
##Click '''Install'''
##To continue the Setup, click '''Next >'''
##Click '''Finish'''

==Git for MSYS==
===Installing Git for MSYS===
#Download msysgit from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ by clicking the exe under '''Featured download'''
#Click '''Save File''' in the pop-up.
#Run the downloaded executable.
#Click '''Run''' in the '''Open File - Security Warning''' pop-up.
#Click '''Yes''' in the allow to make changes pop-up.
#Click '''Next >''' in the Welcome window.
#Read the License and click '''Next >'''
#Accept the Default Install Location by clicking '''Next >'''
#Accept the default Start Menu folder by clicking '''Next >'''
#Click '''Next >''' on the '''Additional Tasks''' screen - I left all items checked.
#I left the PATH environment to be set to '''Use Git Bash only''' and click '''Next >'''
#Modified the '''CR/LF beahavior''' to be '''Use Unix style line endings''' and click '''Next >'''
#Click '''Finish''' on the completion screen

===Using Git for MSYS===
'''Git Bash''' and '''Git Gui''' should now be installed.
#To use msysgit, run, '''Git Bash''' this will open an msys terminal that allows the use of git.
#Right click on the Git window title bar and select '''Properties'''
#In the '''Options''' tab, check '''QuickEdit Mode''' - this will allow copy and paste. (Highlight to copy, Insert button to paste)
# I made a software subfolder: mkdir software; cd software
#Type:
git clone wonderland.sph.umich.edu:/home/pipeline
#I have not yet really integrated git and my msys/mingw - so I use the git bash window for git, and a general msys window for compiling.

== zlib ==
I forget exactly what I did here – I downloaded zlib from zlib.org....
I probably did
./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
make install
(I'm not sure this actually built correctly...TBD...)

== curses ==
I downloaded and installed curses from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/User%20Contributed/pdcurses/Current%20Release_%20pdcurses-2.6.0/pdcurses-2.6.0-2003.07.21-1.exe/download
Sorry, I had step-by-step instructions but I lost them.
You should install it either into C:\MinGW or C:\MinGW\pdcurses. You want the libraries and h files to install into /mingw/lib/ and /mingw/include/
You will probably need to do ln -s /mingw/include/libpdcurses.a /mingw/include/libcurses.a.

I'm not sure if this was done via a build, but I don't think so...if it was a build, maybe it required --prefix=/mingw

== Openssl ==
I downloaded an openssl installer from: http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
I installed into /mingw/openssl/.
I then linked the includes:
cd /mingw/include
ln -s ../openssl/include/openssl openssl
You may or may not need to link libraries – I haven't done this yet.

== SamTools ==
To compile samtools using mingw: cd ~/pipeline/thirdParty/samtools/; make -f Makefile.mingw
