Hello Qian, *
Right for TMFORM and MinGW 64, I'm relatively used to building FriCAS
on Windows.
I also wrote some things here to install FriCAS with MSYS2/MinGW64.
It explains what is needed to be installed for building FriCAS from
MSYS 2 with MinGW that is gcc, diffutils if they build it without
pre-generated files, make, gettext and little explanations about
pacman, the package manager. I will try to find the link.
BTW I own a NSIS script to build a self installer if Waldek and others
want a self installer for download.
It supports uninstallation via start menu or configuration panel
(registry key), icons in start menu etc.
If you want you can test the installer and remove FriCAS easily, the
FriCAS self installer is available here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ir7p6UF6O13QYh-bHqmwbwPTBr38Kn33/view?usp=sharing
I would be happy if you can test it, though I need to update the
FriCAS version. I hesitate between a stable release or the lastest
GitHub version.
I think it would be good to provide this type of installer to "a give
it a try" to Windows users even if it has no graphics nor hyperdoc.
If they like FriCAS or are more curious and they own Windows 10 they
can switch to a full FriCAS with graphics and Hyperdoc or only in
terminal mode on WSL 2. I wrote in the past two tutorials to build
FriCAS on WSL 2 with or without Xorg:

It explains also what is needed to be installed on MSYS2.
Cheers,
