There should be an msys.bat in your mingw directory. Run this with the "MSYS" paramater, i.e. "msys.bat MSYS". Run "uname -s" and "gcc --version", they should identify themselves as special msys versions. Install missing libraries via "mingw-get install msys-<library>" (yes, that should sound familiar). > I’d rather do it the other way round and ask for the MSYS > team to include mksh with their binary bundles.

There is a mailing list for geenral questions that should be a good starting point for discussions: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-users > I had thought unxutils would use native/MinGW builds when > the source tools offer them. Maybe it does *if the source tools offer them*, but to be honest, I don't know for sure for all tools bundled in UnxUtils.zip. And the UnxUtilsSrc.zip source distribution was not really helpful in answering this question, either, which is one reason why I try to avoid it. - Fabian
