Windows (MSYS2/MinGW-64)

• Download the MSYS2 installer, 64-bit or 32-bit as needed
• Use the shortcut associated with your architecture to launch the MSYS2 environment. On 64-bit systems that would be the MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell shortcut. Note: if you are running 64-bit Windows, you'll have both 64-bit and 32-bit environments
• Update the packages in your MSYS2 install:

$ pacman -Sy
$ pacman -Su --ignoregroup base
$ pacman -Syu

Install packages

Note: For i686 builds, replace mingw-w64-x86_64 with mingw-w64-i686

$ pacman -S make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl

Optional:

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-doxygen mingw-w64-x86_64-graphviz
