 Next, build the required libraries:

+    hash -r
 
 Finally, configure mkvtoolnix:
 
-  cd $HOME/path/to/mkvtoolnix-source
-  ./configure \
-    --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
-    --with-boost=$HOME/mingw-cross-env/usr/i686-pc-mingw32 \

+      --with-wx-config=$HOME/mingw-cross-env/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-wx-config
 
 If everything works then build it:
 
-  ./drake
+    ./drake
 
 You're done.
