I have no experience with MSVC and it's too heavy on computer. I mean it takes up so much space. I have a small SSD but my computer is capable enough to build Pale Moon from source on Linux with just about 45 mins. Now I'm on Windows and I use MSYS2 because of the familiar shell I used to work with on Linux. I wanted to know if I could build your NM browsers on MSYS2.
I know MSYS2 is Windows 7+ only but the binary generated by it seems has no problems running on older versions of Windows, given you don't use the UCRT64 target and only use MSVCRT target. I have mutiples small SSDs (120G each), which I give to Linux, Windows 7 and Windows XP respectively. My system is a triple boot system. I think building NM myself on my own computer I could gain more performance. I want to try. |
