Building a mingw-w64 GCC cross-compiler with nixcrpkgs: instructions for Terry, October 2018

1. Install Nix, the functional package manager. You'll need Linux (but macOS might work too).
2. Make sure you have at least 4 GB of free space available for /tmp and a few GB of free space available for /nix.
3. To get my recipes, run: git clone https://github.com/DavidEGrayson/nixcrpkgs && cd nixcrpkgs && git checkout 4f7b11d That commit is the current tip of the dev/david/2019 branch.
4. To build a i686-w64-mingw32 C/C++ cross-compiling toolchain and a hello world program, run: nix-build -A win32.hello
5. To build Qt and its examples, run: nix-build -A win32.qt.examples
6. To just build the toolchain itself, run: nix-build -A win32.gcc

# Given an array of dependencies and a block for retrieving dependencies of an
# dependency, returns an array of dependencies with three guarantees:
#
# 1) Contains all the listed dependencies.
# 2) Has no duplicates.
# 3) For any dependency in the list, all of its dependencies appear before it.
#
# Guarantee 3 only holds if the underlying graph has no circul dependencies.  If
# there is a circular dependency, it will not be detected, but it will not cause
# an infinite loop either.
