[Github-comments] [geany] msys2 bundle script: Rework for less typo fragility, and add more pac… (#560)

[Enrico Tröger]

Yeah, compiling `grep` with MSYS2 is as easy as `configure && make && make install`, woohoo.
The only additional dependency it creates is `pcre` but this is ok I guess.

Now the question is: would it be ok to include a pre-compiled grep.exe in this script or add a few lines to the script to download, unpack and build `grep` on the fly to make it more transparent where it comes from?
I'd vote for the latter option but it will increase runtime of the script signifanctly because compiling `grep` will take some time (to be exact it is rather running `configure` which is slow).
