When trying to build a library from source using make and MinGW, I realized (from errors) that I don't have the install command, which I understand to be a combination of cp, chown, chmod, strip, and maybe some other stuff. I figured, hey, someone's got to have a copy of that out there, right? But unfortunately the name of the binary makes it near impossible to search for with any search engine.
Does anyone know of an existing MinGW-compatible version of install?
If you are running MinGW as a cross-compiler, hosted on Linux, (as your question title might be construed to imply), the native /usr/bin/install on the Linux host itself serves admirably; (FWIW, this is exactly how my own MinGW development platform is set up).
OTOH, if you really mean "where can I find a Linux-like install utility to accompany MinGW running on MS-Windows?", then (as Diego notes) you will find it among MinGW.org's MSYS tools; running mingw-get install msys-base will install it for you, (assuming you are using mingw-get to manage your MinGW installation).
