! <h3>How do I use MinGW with MSYS?</h3>
! <p>
! It's easy to configure an MSYS environment for MinGW useage, since there is no
! overlap in functionality to contend with (as there is with Cygwin). Simply
! decompress the contents of each archive into directories of your choosing, and
! add both the MinGW "/bin" and the MSYS "/bin" subdirectories
! to your PATH.
! </p>
! <p>
! You may install the MinGW and MSYS packages anywhere on your filesystem, even nesting
! one within the other (creating a "mingw" subdirectory beneath your
! "msys" directory, for instance). However, it is important to remember
! that NO executables other than what ships with MSYS should be placed in the MSYS
! "bin" subdirectory. Therefore, do not attempt to "merge" the
! two packages.

! Cygwin's "/bin" subdirectory in your PATH environment variable

to all the UNIX tools you want, while ensuring that the instance of GCC used

- <h3>How do I use MinGW with MSYS?</h3>
- <p>
- It's easy to configure an MSYS environment for MinGW useage in the same manner
- as it is for Cygwin. If the system's PATH environment variable is set with the
- MinGW "/bin" subdirectory before the MSYS "/bin", you will have access to all
- MSYS tools while using the MinGW instance of gcc/g++.
- </p>
- <p>
- Just as with Cygwin, the "/etc/profile" of MSYS places additional directories
- before your system-level path in its PATH. You must be sure that the MinGW "/bin"
- comes first in your MSYS environment as well, either by modifying "/etc/profile" or
- setting it manually.

! and includes the source for both the runtime and all the packages from which

! </p><p>
! To install chose a drive device and unpack the binary distribution in the root

! There are three tarballs available for download, although most users will need only one.
! The tarball flagged as "src" contains the source code for MSYS, unnecessary unless a

! with optimizations for recent generations of the Pentium family (and compatibles). The
! "i386" tarball is a binary distribution that will run on ANY 32-bit
! Intel-compatible processor.
! </p>
! <p>
! To install the MSYS binaries, choose a location in your filesystem and unpack the
! binary distribution there. It is recommended that you add the "bin" subdirectory
! of the MSYS distribution to your system PATH. More information about using MinGW with
! MSYS can be found in the <a href="http://localhost/mingw/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-usingwithmsys">FAQ</a>,
