No, MinGW (official and unofficial) doesn't provide a bash like shell or something similar. I assume, that if you install (official) MSYS you will be asked, where the MinGW directory is, and that you can use MSYS also with the unofficial MinGW package. Otherwise just open the Windows CLI and set the paths correctly. I wrote some lines about that in the wiki: http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Setup_mingw section Setup. If this doesn't work, or is unclear, let me know, since I want people to easily be able to follow the instructions. Thanks for investing your time.
