Lets hope this mail end up in the right thread...
You can download a complete MSYS package (with every binary provided by
mingw.org) so that you don't have to bother figuring out which of them you
need. It's the MSYS-<date>.zip (not the *-src-* one!) package located
here<http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary%20packages%20%28Win64%20hosted%29/MSYS%20%2832-bit%29/>.
This is one package containing all the original binaries of MSYS as
distributed by mingw.org. This provides only unix tools (coreutils, ssh,
sftp, sed , etc...), no compiler. You will have to download that seperately.
If you want to build 32-bit applications, there are automated and personal
builds
here<http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/>
.
If you want to build 64-bit applications, there are automated and personal
builds
here<http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/>
.
You'll want the latest one ending in *-mingw_<date>. They are regularly
updated, and it's best to keep up to date as much as possible, as there is
continuous bug fixing going on.
For the personal builds, there is a *-x86_64-mingw-<date> package which
means the toolchain is 64-bit itself and you will need to be running a x64
OS. The automated builds don't have a x64 one. The personal builds by sezero
also have gmake/mingw32-make included, which is required to build most
projects.
To install:
1) unzip MSYS anywhere, say C:\msys so that bash.exe is located in
C:\msys\bin.
2) unzip the mingw-w64/w32 toolchain anywhere, say C:\mingw64 so that
gcc.exe (or *-gcc.exe) is located in C:\mingw64\bin
3) doubleclick or create a shortcut to C:\msys\msys.bat. Running this will
open a bash shell.
4) Like the readme says, first thing you should do is run the following
command:
sh /postinstall/pi.sh
Answer y, y, <location of mingw64 or mingw32 folder, here it's C:/mingw64>
5) Do what you need to do :)
I will get a wiki page up for this soon. If you need any more help feel free
to ask!
