Win32 binaries:
- Install cross-i686-w64-mingw32-gcc and associated binutils.
- If you skip this step, libopus will still try to build with the system gcc
and then fail to link.
- Edit mingw/Makefile to point to the latest versions of libogg. opus, openssl
(see <https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/opus/>, checksums in SHA256SUMS.txt)
- run `make -C mingw`
- Downloads versions of libogg, opus, openssl.
- Compiles them.
- Compiles static opusfile and examples against the built deps.
- run `make -C mingw package`
- Creates an opusfile-${version}-win32.zip binary package.
- Merge changes between README.md and the version in the last
binary release. E.g. it's good to include versions of the dependencies,
release notes, etc.
- Copy the archive to a clean system and verify the examples work
to make sure you've included all the necessary libraries.
- Upload the archive zipfile to websites.
- Verify file permissions and that it's available at the expected URL.
