You don't need to install a separate MINGW compiler. It is inside the Strawberry Perl installation. You have to execute all commands in the Git Bash window of Git for Windows. The first command is

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huskyproject/huskybse/master/script/init_build

Here "O" is the capital letter. Now you run init_build script if ~/husky directory is not occupied.

./init_build

After that you may open C:\Users\your_name\husky\huskymak.cfg in your favorite editor and change there something you want to change. It is optional if you installed Strawberry Perl in the default directory. To build Husky, run

cd ~/husky
./build.sh

The result of the build will be in ~/husky/hpt/Build (in fact C:\Users\your_name\husky\hpt\Build), ~/husky/htick/Build and so on. The "install" part is not implemented yet.

To delete all files produced during the build, run

make distclean
