@thoni56, I've tried to build the repo under Win 10 using MSYS2 + MinGW-32, but only managed to compile part of the project. IRC, you mention somewhere that it only builds using CygWin.
Pre-Compiled Win Binaries
Since I'd like to be able to access all the ToolMaker binaries for the ALAN source project, I was hoping to manage to build it with MSYS2 and also wondering whether you could either:
- Make the precompiled binaries for Windows available for download somewhere.
- Add a Travis CI job to cross-compile ToolMaker for Windows under Ubuntu when a release is created.
As for the latter, it could automate adding precompiled binaries for other OSs too, and include them in each tagged GitHub release. Since the project is not actually following a versioned-releases strategy, and because it includes various tools, you could use dates in the YYYY-MM-DD format for release tags, instead of SemVer, and simply create a new release whenever any of the project tools was updated.
This might be a better versioning strategy, since the goal would be just to provide up-to-date binaries which each release, and because SemVer tags are not applicable to the whole project, besides not being practical in this case.
MSYS2/MinGW-32 Failure
Any idea why the build fails under MSYS2? The only binaries that compile successfully are:
These tools seems to work fine — at least, I can query them via -help.
The Make log is rather long and not entirely clear, due to the many GCC warnings that clutter it. I've pasted it below, in a foldable section (so it doesn't take the whole page).
From what I gather, it fails to build the pmk tool:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [Makefile:60: mingw32] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/d/GitHub/ToolMaker/ToolMaker/src/pmk'
make: *** [Makefile:8: all] Error 2
but I'm not sure what the collect2.exe binary is (part of the repo?) and why it's failing.
Since Make aborts at the above error, I have no idea if there are other problems with the remaining tools (I don't even know how many binaries I should expect on a successful build). Maybe if we manage to fix the above problem the rest of the Makefile works fine under MSYS2, or maybe there are more problems.
I haven't yet tried to build other sub-folders/tool using their Makefiles, but I will try to.

Building with LLVM/Clang?
Do you think that the project might build using the Clang compiler? It seems that the LLVM package contains various tools that allow code analysis to compile C project under Windows without all the cross-compatibility problems, which might allow to compile directly under Windows — but I'm not sure how this works and whether it currently handles any project or only certain features.
I've installed the LLVM package because various Rust projects need it to translate C sources to Rust (e.g. headers, or even transpiling entire sources). From what I've read, Clang has developed into an excellent compiler and it's currently comparable to GCC in terms of quality results.
If there's a chance that the project might build under Win OS using Clang (and other LLVM tools), without the need of the POSIX emulation layer of CygWin/MSYS2, then I think it's worth investing some energy in creating a build script for it.
More Info on Project Binaries
If you could provide me with some info regarding the various binary tools generated by the project it could help me out trying to provide alternative build scripts for Windows 10 (MSYS2, or Clang/LLVM).
Having a README file in each src/ folder, describing the tool, etc., would be useful.
