do you mean "g++" instead of "msys2"?

Yes. Attached is what I have so far.

See INSTALL for general notes, such as running 'make' and 'make check'
on Windows (using MinGW64 via Msys2):
Here we give sources for the various packages needed. We give
directions to the download, rather than an exact URL, to make it easy
to check for new versions.
The versions given here may not be exactly the same versions as used to
build the current release of monontone.
These instructions work on a new computer, with only
64 bit Windows 7 installed.
Msys2 provides all of the tools required, and several of the packages.
Package | Version | location
--------------------------
msys2 | |
http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/MSYS2%20installation/
| | Downloading | 64-bit | latest version
| lua-5.1.4.tar.gz
botan | 1.10.8 | http://botan.randombit.net/download.html
| "Source: >tar/bzip<" under "Current Stable Release"
| _not_ the "windows binary installer"
Depends.exe | | http://www.dependencywalker.com/ ; also comes with
Visual Studio
The tools listed here are sufficient to build the monotone
executable and html and info documentation. However, the
'distcheck' target also builds the documentation in
postscript format, which requires tools not (yet) available
for MinGW. FIXME: verify
The commands below assume you download files to ~/Downloads.
FIXME: replace this file with an msys2 PKGBUILD
01. MSYS2
following instructions at

Create directory c:/Msys2
using 7-zip or Cygwin tar, unpack msys2-base-x86_64-20140216.tar.xz to
c:/Msys2
from cmd.exe (_not_ Windows Explorer), run c:\Msys2\msys64\msys2_shell.bat
that starts an msys shell; exit it.
start cmd.exe again, run c:\Msys2\msys64\msys2_shell.bat again
in the msys64 shell, run 'pacman -Syu'. that gives errors about rebase.
Exit the shell.
in cmd.exe, run 'autorease.bat'
in cmd.exe, run msys2_shell.bat
in the msys shell:
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
# install all (just hit return)
# IMPROVEME; don't need all of that
# but 'pacman -Qo g++' gives 'error: No package owns
/usr/mingw64/bin/g++'
$ pacman -S autoconf
$ pacman -S automake
$ pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-sqlite3
$ pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-boost
$ pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-lua
$ pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libidn
$ pacman -S msys/tar
$ pacman -S msys/make
$ pacman -S msys/pcre-devel
05. botan
$ mkdir /usr/src
$ cd /Msys2/msys64/src
# 'cd /usr/src' doesn't work; sigh
# Download or copy Botan-1.10.8.tbz to /Msys2/msys64/src
$ tar xf Botan-1.10.8.tbz
$ cd Botan-1.10.8
# tell mingw/python to use / for directories
# FIXME: or use msys/python
$ export MSYSTEM=MSYS
$ ./configure.py --prefix=/mingw64 --cc=gcc --os=mingw --cpu=x86_64
$ make install
10. Depends.exe
If you have Visual Studio installed, you should be able to skip this.
If you don't, then download the appropriate depends*.zip and
unpack it someplace in your %PATH% (for example, C:\MinGW\bin\).
This is only used by the testsuite, in particular the empty_environment test.
If you just want to build monotone for your own use, you can skip this and
just ignore that test failing.
11. build monotone
$ cd /c/Projects/monotone
$ autoreconf -i # not needed if you use the distributed tarball
$ export CXXFLAGS="-I/Msys2/msys64/mingw64/include -g -O2 -Wall"
$ export LDFLAGS="-L/Msys2/msys64/mingw64/lib"
$ export botan_CFLAGS="-I/Msys2/msys64/mingw64/include/botan-1.10"
$ export botan_LIBS="-lbotan-1.10"
$ export pcre_CFLAGS="-I/Msys2/msys64/include"
$ export pcre_LIBS="-L/Msys2/msys64/lib -lpcre"
# config.guess is broken; use the result of `gcc -dumpmachine`
# tests for 'templates with static const members', 'char has 8 bits' are
broken; comment them out in configure
$ ./configure --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32
$ make
See innosetup/README.txt for instructions on building the native Win32
installer.
