I’m leader of MSYS2 project - new implementation of MSYS on top of current
Cygwin codebase:
http://msys2.github.io <http://msys2.github.io/>
We work with mingw-w64 team to improve Windows support in mingw-w64. MSYS2 have
package manager «pacman» ported from Arch Linux. And we provide a great number
of free software builded with mingw-w64 to our users via packages. Currently we
build:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
<https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages>
But number of builded software a always grown.
Interested users porting software, send patches upstream and provide scripts to
build with pacman.
We provide packages only for software that we can build ourself with mingw-w64
- no 3rd party binaries.

Having all programs/libraries builded with the same toolchain help to debug and
fix issues.

Patches sended to bug tracker are simple and not break anything.
