Update base app + set working directory
Nice work!
After installation.
If you have some local msys2 mirrors, you have to manually edit the pacman.conf to add those server address.
Then run the command "pacman -Fy" to update the repo.
After that, you can install any packages you like, see here: Using packages · msys2/msys2 Wiki - https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/Using-packages as a reference page.
Thanks.
Version 2018_05_31 Is Out.
Could you update?
Thank You.
Update base app
Mike,
Looking here:
https://github.com/2wayne/MSYS2Portable/commit/1216ebd819b1ddc37f1e432ff...
What's the difference between PackageVersion and DisplayVersion?
Why wouldn't they be the same?
Is it possible to update the base app from old MSYS2 Portable version? Or I have to download the latest 2018.05.31 release.
Thanks.
Another question I would like to ask is how to change the language when I start the "MSYS2Portable.exe".
I'm currently on a Windows 7 64bit system(the system language is Chinese), when I start the "MSYS2Portable.exe", I see all the messages returned from the bash command line are shown in Chinese.
I see the file "appinfo.ini", there is a line:
Language=EnglishAre there any places I can set the languages?
Thanks.
EDIT, this problem is fixed, I just add a line
LANG=en_USin the file \App\msys32\msys2.ini, then bash show all messages in English.
Update base app
Update base app + switch to msys64
Would be great to have Launcher for UCRT64 - which is the new recommended environment by the MSYS team.
