You can use the dynamic flags for several dependencies to avoid this.

My builds use them for these major ones:

  +gettext/dyn

  +iconv/dyn

  +lua/dyn

  +multi_byte_ime/dyn

  +perl/dyn

  +python/dyn

  +python3/dyn

  +ruby/dyn

The Cream builds are always vanilla, depending on an upstream fix on

build or feature bugs. Sometimes I'm motivated to track them down

myself, but usually they are simply omitted. :)

You've got that right! I maintain a DOS batch script for everything

from the download/update to the NSIS installer build. Over the years

it has grown to 1,300 lines!
