Msys postinstall script

There are three files. Two of them are originals or at least pi. If you went with x64, then you have within the archive mingw It does not really matter where you put it so long as you follow a couple rules try to keep the path as short as possible if you can.

The howto page says a shell should be there Howto page on Mingw. A lot has changed about Mingw in the last years and I think some documentation you might find easily via google is out-of-date. Try asking for help at mingw mail groups via Nabble very easy to use.

Open your Start menu and right-click on "All Program" and choose either "Open" or "Open All Users" depending on which you want to set the shortcut for. Right-drag msys. Choose "Create shortcut" when prompted as to what you wish to do.

I'm not certain of what happens if you don't do this; the shell opens either way. If you didn't have the shortcut, the other postinstall bits may not have run either. If there is an fstab file, then the postinstall bits ran appropriately. This will make the mingw folder available from the msys shell. Things won't work right without doing this. Best I can tell, you now must do so manually in all cases. Look for the postinstall directory, run the batch file pi.

Then gcc is found. Go to your windows search and go to Apps and Features and then search for it, you can find the file location and then you can probably see docs and other files :.
