I've found so far that finding the right HOWTO has been key, I am wondering whether you know of one. Good docs for MinGW have been elusive, and there are quite a few little details that are hard to track down, like when to use MinGW make, and when to use Cygwin make.
you dont need anything from Cygwin for MinGW, that was one of the
reasons it was created in the first place...that stuff on the wiki
regarding stealing bits here and there from cygwin is
misinformation... for some rare thing that isnt in msys or the DTK
like PNG/JPeG lib needed by gridflow, you can get pure-win32 ports at
gnuwin32.sourceforge.neti do remmeber sometimes the included make would screw up but if you
copied /bin/mingw32-make.exe to /bin/make.exe after installing it
worked nicely..
I wonder why the MSYS installer tells you not use use the MinGW make.
There is even a check in the MSYS installer that checks to see that you
are not using the MinGW make. But actually, the MinGW make did work
better for me too.
FYI: I didn't find a "curl" for MSYS/MinGW, but Cygwin's has been
working fine for me.
