MINGW64: Build a static SoX (.exe) for Windows, DLL-independent with MP3 de-/encoding support (libmad and Lame encoder)

Here are my personal notes on compiling SoX with MINGW64. Maybe, my situation isn't representative for everyone. Or maybe, I could have achieved my goal easier. But this is the way I succeeded.

I need to build SoX as a static .exe file with MP3 de- and encoding support, to be able to normalize an existing MP3 file and save it as MP3.

I used Windows 11 Pro and MINGW64. I did another successful test with Windows 8.1.

Goal

My main goal is to be able to normalize and save back MP3 files. So I need SoX for normalization and libmad / Lame for MP3 de-/encoding. At best, I would like to port my target .exe file to other systems without the need of any depending DLL or other file.

Mercurial to Git repo conversion

Here is my personally successful approach to convert an existing Bitbucket hg repo to a new Bitbucket git repo. In this example, I invented a repo with the name "SimonSays". I used Windows 8.1.

Prerequisites

Python 2.7 (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2717/)
Git (https://git-scm.com/)
- Use Git Bash
Conversion script / tool fast-export (https://github.com/frej/fast-export)
