   Jun 25, 2023 · If you use MSYS2 terminal, start the terminal using the appropriate shortcut. The shortcuts have the environment names in them, e.g. for UCRT64 use the MSYS2 UCRT64 shortcut. If you don't use the MSYS2 terminal and call the tools from elsewhere, add the appropriate directory to PATH, e.g. for UCRT64 add C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin.

   May 12, 2021 · All environments and their differences are listed in the documentation. Specifically, the difference between MSYS (msys2.exe) and MINGW64 (mingw64.exe) is that MSYS has the Cygwin C standard library and MINGW64 has the MSVCRT (Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime) C standard library. The documentation says: "If you are unsure, go with UCRT64."

   • Cygwin. Cygwin, formerly from Cygnus (acquired by Red Hat), is currently a project under the RedHat name. The purpose of the project is to provide a Unix-like environment (represented by GNU tools) running on a Windows platform.
   • MinGW. MinGW, Minimalist GNU for Windows, a development environment for developing native (32-bit) Windows applications. It mainly provides tools such as GCC and GNU binutils for win32 applications, as well as header files for the equivalent of the Windows SDK (a subset of) and library files (so, a, etc., rather than the VC lib) for the MinGW version linker.
   • MSys. The full name of MSYS is Minimal SYStem, a subsystem of MinGW, Unix-like command line utilities, a set of bash running on Windows, including the basic bash, make, gawk and grep, etc.
   • Cygwin, MinGW, MSys Comparison. Features. Cygwin. MinGW/MSYS. MSYS2. Is GNU. No. Yes. More software support? Support most GNU software. Support common software, git, Vim and other software need to be supported independently (see below for details)

   The differences among the environments are mainly environment variables, default compilers/linkers, architecture, system libraries used etc. If you are unsure, go with UCRT64 . The MSYS environment contains the unix-like/cygwin based tools, lives under /usr and is special in that it is always active.

   Packages for msys2 are built from recipes in the msys2-packages Git repository, packages for mingw are in mingw-packages. Official repositories are on GitHub under user the msys2 organization. When looking for msys2 packages or deciding to create a new one, keep in mind that MSYS2 doesn't intend to compete with Cygwin or duplicate their efforts.

   Once installation is complete, you have three options available for starting a shell. The difference between these options is the preset of the environment variables that select the compiler toolchain to use. Launch the “MSYS MinGW 64-bit” option to use the MinGW 64bit toolchain, producing 64bit binaries that run on 64bit Windows systems.

7. People also ask

   What's the difference between MinGW and MSYS2?

   • IIRC, packages in the msys2 repo relies on msys-runtime, which is a POSIX emulation engine (a bit like a libc but in the form of a translation layer, I think) forked from Cygwin, to work, while MINGW packages are more or less compiled as native Windows programs / libraries. The different exe files in C:\msys64 start different MSYS2 environments.

   Can MSYS run outside MinGW?

   • No. Both the standalone MinGW [-w64] toolset and the one installed as part of MSYS create native Windows binaries, which can run just fine outside the MinGW (or MSYS) shell. (Linking with -static helps with the DLLs not on the PATH, though, and e.g. with MSYS2, the msys-2.dll must also be reachable.)

   What's the difference between MinGW-w64 & MinGW-builds?

   • MinGW-w64 is a improved version which supports both 32bit and 64bit, and some more of the WinAPI (still not all, because thats much work, but more than MinGW). MinGW-w64 only provides their source code, but no binaries to "just use" the compiler. MinGW-builds is a somewhat separate project to provide binaries in the most useful configurations.

   What is the difference between MSYS and Cygwin?

   • The biggest difference with MSYS is the porting of Pacman, the package management system of Arch Linux (which is actually the difference with Cygwin). More software support?

   Is MSYS2 32-bit or 64-bit?

   • Both 32-bit and 64-bit variants exist and receive mostly the same level of support. MSYS2 consists of three subsystems and their corresponding package repositories, msys2, mingw32, and mingw64. The mingw subsystems provide native Windows programs and are the main focus of the project.

   Apr 14, 2023 · What is the difference between running mingw-w64 tools in one of MSYS2's terminal emulators vs. running them in, for instance, a Powershell or CMD window? MSYS2's subsystem launchers set some environment variables and then start a terminal with a proper shell.
