Okay I see some of the merged contains libs so I'll figure out what happened there with @tctr and redo this one! On the path

[tctr]

Hey great work ! Yes, sorry for convenience I had added some libs in my fork !

[tctr]

yes this is this commit : c45a85017cca485f7d8ec525c4411 where I added the libs manually and not using download_libs.sh. This commit can be easily removed with interactive rebase. I can do it if you prefer.

Also I've got a commit dbf8f55f0fcf666494233bbbe5b where all the .gitignore are deleted. It should also be removed I guess !
