I was thinking about a 'how to install Mingw page' I think even though it's
simple, it may not be a bad idea.
Isn't it fairly well covered on the Getting Started WiKi Page? Certainly, that
could benefit from a review, and update — ideally into the WordPress sandbox.
Are you interested in helping with that?

Ticket details:
I have patched together my copy of MinGW based on a very old install and a lot
of manual downloading (about 3 weeks ago), I know there were a lot of broken
links. My copy works great, I've compiled a ton of libraries into mine. I've
also pulled MSYS2, and setup automounts to MinGW, TDM-MinGW, and MinGW-64. I've
been in IT for over 20 years and I think this project is amazing or at least
can be once again. MinGW-64, and MSYS2 are cool as well, but pacman, although
it works nice if you KNOW the name of the package you want is a pain. i am/was/
have been a Windows programmer for many years, also a Unix admin for several
years, and Windows admin as well. So I have skills across the board, but
recently I've been retraining myself to be all about MinGW as it offers me an
equal development environment between my linux and windows systems. I've been
slowly moving over to Linux as I can't stand Microsoft and I'm so tired of
giving up my whole machine for what Microsoft tools can do when I can do them
for a fraction of the overhead under MinGW. Sorry about the book, but I'm not
sure if/and what kind of help you all need on this so I thought I'd toss in a
little summary. I'm interested in helping on the project. Let me know. my email
address is ayper****@gmail*****
thanks, Chris
