Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] How to install pre-compiled MXE packages?

[hello]

Thank you very much for your reply. But I still got questions, here it
is:

when I unpack one pre-compiled package, take
"mxe-i686-w64-mingw32.shared-zlib_1.2.8.tar.xz" for example,
I got directories and files like this:

├── mxe-i686-w64-mingw32.shared-zlib_1.2.8.tar.xz
└── usr
    └── i686-w64-mingw32.shared
        ├── bin
        │   └── zlib1.dll
        ├── include
        │   ├── zconf.h
        │   └── zlib.h
        ├── installed
        │   └── zlib
        └── lib
            ├──
libz.dll.a
            └──
pkgconfig
                └── zlib.pc

As you said in last email, I should move the "usr" directory and all the
staff in "usr" directory to "/usr/lib/mxe"
Is that right?
And next I should "/usr/lib/mxe/bin" to the PATH, right?
