First, you need to install MSYS2 (use the 64bit installer, msys2-x86_64-*.exe):
- https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/MSYS2%20installation/
+ http://www.msys2.org
+ https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/MSYS2-installation
Then, perform the MSYS2 update procedure as per the documentation above.
- $ update-core
- (If one of the packages is updated here, you MUST restart MSYS2)
+ $ pacman -Syu # If needed, close MSYS2, run it again from Start menu.
$ pacman -Su
-Now close the shell and start an "MSYS2 MinGW32" shell (do NOT use the
-"MSYS2 Shell", and do NOT use the "MSYS2 MinGW64" shell). All other
-steps will always have to be performed in an "MSYS2 MinGW32" shell.
+Now close the shell and start an "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" or "MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit"
+shell (do NOT use the "MSYS2 MSYS" shell). All other steps will always have to
+be performed in an "MSYS2 MinGW 62-bit" or "MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit" shell.
Install the MSYS2 git package there:
Per default it will install the compiled packages in:
- $HOME/sr_msys2
+ $HOME/sr_msys2_release_32
+
+This depends on whether you're running the build in a "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" or
+"MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit" shell, and whether you enabled debug builds or not.
Please edit the script if you want to change any settings.
