I've put a MinGW build together on Appveyor https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FreddieAkeroyd/re2c if that's any help - it builds the latest re2c (1.0.3) and runs all its tests, the final binary is available at  https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FreddieAkeroyd/re2c/build/artifacts

Regards,

Freddie

I worked out how to get ./configure to cross-build GNUmake 4.1 on Linux for Windows using MinGW, and since the result is a single stand-alone binary it's easy to distribute. I could probably work out how to do the same thing with re2c if necessary.

Has anyone played with the Chocolatey package management system for Windows yet? That looks like it would make this kind of thing much simpler, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
