This page is about:

  • MSYS, MSYS is a collection of GNU utilities such as bash, make, gawk and grep on Windows.
  • MinGW, "Minimalist GNU for Windows". MinGW is a minimalist development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications.
  • MSYS2, a Cygwin-derived software distro for Windows using Arch Linux's Pacman. MSYS2 is an independent rewrite of MSYS, based on modern Cygwin (POSIX compatibility layer) and MinGW-w64 with the aim of better interoperability with native Windows software.

MSYS and MinGW are mostly inactive now. MSYS2 is the active alternative.
