Hello,

Yes, I did try to run it - the problem is, I'm missing some important bits of 
information, such as - what are the prerequisites required to run this script? 
It looks like I need the source for MingGW-w64 and clang, but which directories 
to I put them in?

Georg, your script looks to be a bit easier to understand, so I might use that 
as a start. I'm not really a Linux or compiler guy - I'm very lazy, and so I 
usually let my IDE figure these things out for me :P

Thanks for your help!
