Spot candidates by running these commands:
  git ls-files |xargs perl -0777 -n \
    -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt]o)\s+\1\b/gims)' \
    -e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g; print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}'

Thanks to Jim Meyering for the original patch.

Lasse Collin 507a4a4dea Windows: build.sh is a bash script so name it correctly. 2010-07-27 20:45:03 +03:00
Lasse Collin 8884e16864 Revise the Windows build files.
The old Makefile + config.h was deleted, because it
becomes outdated too easily and building with the
Autotools based build system works fine even on Windows.

windows/build.sh hasn't got much testing, but it should
work to build 32-bit x86 and x86-64 versions of XZ Utils
using MSYS, MinGW or MinGW-w32, and MinGW-w64.

windows/INSTALL-Windows.txt describes what packages are
needed and how to install them.

windows/README-Windows.txt is a readme file for the binary
package that build.sh hopefully builds.

There are no instructions about using Autotools for now,
so those using a git snapshot may want to run
"autoreconf -fi && ./configure && make mydist" on a UN*X
box and then copy the resulting .tar.gz to a Windows.
