.. TODO::
   
   MINGW documentation need to be done. Refer to file .travis.yml to see a list of commands for windows-mingw
   Describe how to install and configure mingw
Prerequistites:
* Powershell
* 7zip
* git
* cmake
Install and compile boost:
.. code-block:: console
    wget https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.68.0/source/boost_1_68_0.7z
    7z x boost_1_68_0.7z -oC:/local
    cd "C:\local\boost_1_68_0"
    bootstrap.bat gcc
    b2.exe -d0 --with-date_time --with-test --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-regex --with-serialization --with-system runtime-link=static toolset=gcc --prefix=C:\local\boost_1_68_0\boost-mingw install
    cd C:/local/boost_1_68_0/boost-mingw/lib
    dir
Verify boost is really compiled. Go to the folder where you want to download `licensecc`
.. code-block:: console
   git clone --recursive https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager.git
   cd build && cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DBOOST_ROOT="C:/local/boost_1_68_0/boost-mingw" -DBoost_ARCHITECTURE="-x64" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE_ID="x64" -DCMAKE_SH="CMAKE_SH-NOTFOUND" ..
   cmake --build . --target install --config Release
And then you can test it:
.. code-block:: console
   ctest -C Release
