====================================================
END USER MSYS ENVIRONMENT - RELEASE 20111122
====================================================


This is an msys environment for use with the compilers
provided at this site.

Download the archive (you will need 7-zip) and extract
to a folder of your choice with NO SPACES.

After extraction you should edit two files:

..\msys\etc\fstab
..\msys\etc\profile

In fstab, mount the head path to your compiler.
For example, if your compiler is at

c:\dev\compilers\mingw32

then add the following mount to fstab:

c:/dev    /dev


In the profile file edit the top line to read:

export MINGW_GCC_ROOT=/dev/compilers/mingw32

That should be it - you can now run msys.bat.

Remember that within msys always use 'make'.

In the standard windows shell always use 'gmake' (or 
mingw32-make if your prefer - they are copies of the
same executable).

When working with Perl always use 'dmake'.
