[CoinBinary] Building CoinBinary under MinGW

[acw at ascent.com]

The CYGWIN explanation is a good guess, but can't be right in this case, 
because there is no CYGWIN installation on the machine in question.  At 
this point I'm thinking it's more likely that my memory of having done the 
build before is false.  The tarball suggestion is good; I found a 
different but equally suitable end-run:  I'm checking out the sources on a 
Linux box and then copying them over the local network to my Windows 
machine.  So this issue is now under control; thank you.

The real reason I'm doing this is to try to enable the "cbc-parallel" 
feature, that lets Cbc exploit multi-core machines for better performance. 
 Any advice on this front would be especially appreciated.

Perhaps you were unknowingly using the CYGWIN version of SVN before. If 
you have your Windows path set to include the CYGWIN bin directory, then 
MinGW will happily use the CYGWIN commands. Otherwise, you can download 
tarballs from the COIN Web site for all release versions.

Subversion for MinGW. 

So the instructions for checkout and build at the CoinBinary wiki page 
don't work for me.  How did I manage to get this done before?  Is there 
another way to download the sources, not using svn? 

(My motive, by the way, is to tweak the configure script to make sure that 
--enable-cbc-parallel is specified for the Cbc build.  See my last message 
to this forum for more details.)
