These add-on stuff are not directly related to mingw-w64 itself but take a look at <http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/download.php>. I think you need to at least understand what mingw-w64 really consists of before jumping to conclusion. mingw-w64 proper itself really only consist of headers and libraries. You need GCC to use it, anything else is optional and platform dependent and distro specific. > I only see the Automated builds, which inludes the basic precompiled > compilers with unusual postfixes ...

Just unpack and run. The automated builds are mostly for testing rather than for general use. The PREFIX means it is a cross compiler, a cross compiler by definition cannot be named just "gcc". Tools like a shell interpreter and GNU make is in the domain of Linux, Cygwin and MSYS, think of those as optional add-on to use GCC in different ways. First of all, what do you actually aim to accomplish? If you actually need all the *nix tools, the easiest way is just use Cygwin setup, it also includes a mingw-w64 cross compiler and all the *nix tools. Cygwin also provides a GUI installer to do this. Do not mix with other mingw-w64 distro. For native builds without a PREFIX, try mingw-build's distro. I do not know if mingw-build installer includes MSYS. You can always install it later separately. Again, see <http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/download.php> for a list of viable distros.
