@ -56,7 +56,10 @@ To build from MSYS2, the following packages must be installed: autoconf,
automake-wrapper, libtool, make, and either mingw-w64-i686-gcc (for 32-bit)
or mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc (for 64-bit). Open either the "MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit" or
"MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" command window from the Start menu and use this when
configuring and building the package. The "MSYS2 MSYS" shell will not work.
configuring and building the package. Using the "MSYS2 MSYS" shell will build
against the Cygwin compatibility layer; this works, but port enumeration and
metadata will not be available, and binaries will depend on Cygwin. The builds
produced by MinGW-w64 are normal Windows DLLs without additional dependencies.
The "old" MinGW from http://mingw.org/ is not supported.
