I think that I installed MSYS correctly for my Windows 7 64-bit system. I downloaded and attempted to run configure on GMP-5.0.1 and got some output that made me think I have a problem:
$ ./configure --disable-shared --enable-alloca=no checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32 In the post-install part I set the location to the directory where I extracted the 64-bit version of MinGW(on my computer it is C:\MinGW_64). What made me wonder is that I am seeing "i686-pc-mingw32" and think that I should be seeing 64 at the end of this. I'm wondering if I likely did something wrong or should I expect to see this?

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. 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. If you want to build 64-bit applications, there are automated and personal builds here. 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.
