It is a pitty because I use SF often. I think that the problems could be solved if we could use something like pkgsrc on Windows.

Unfortunately this is not a reality or an option but it would be a good alternative.

Msys2 project gives a few of these apps as binaries. But it would be more user friendly if we could just download from a source repository and compile locally on windows.



Windows 10 is supposed to finally ship with something resembling a proper package manager. Or something.
