[Gimp-developer] any way to compile GIMP-git on windows?

[oyster <lepto python gmail com>]

Hi, all
I am a win7 64 bits user. So I installed
Mingw64(http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64), which can yield
both 32 and 64 bits applications for windows.

I can compile gimp-2.8.14 32bit without problem. But when I try to
compile the GIMP source from git, the configure says "equested
'harfbuzz >= 0.9.19' but version of harfbuzz is 0.9.16"

Then I try to compile
harfbuzz(http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HarfBuzz/) from the git
source. But the required colm (http://www.colm.net/open-source/colm/)
can't be compiled successful with mingw64

 $ ./configure
 $ make -j8 ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1
 make[2]: *** No rule to make target `bootstrap1', needed by `parse2.c'.  Stop.

Is there any hit to compile GIMP-git (or harfbuzz) on windows  for windows?

Thanks
