MSYS2

MSYS2 is an easy way for Windows users to get GNU and other open source tools such as GHDL and NVC. It’s easy to install and configure:

Download and install the latest build of MSYS2 from here: MSYS2 distributions for Win64. This will normally be the last .exe file in the list.
Open an MSYS2 MSYS shell (the last step in the install process offers this as an option).
Update the system, and package database, by entering the following command:
```
pacman -Syyu
```
The update will conclude by closing the shell.
Open an MSYS2 MSYS shell again. Install basic development tools by entering the following command:
```
pacman -S --needed base-devel git
```
Create a Environment Variable named MSYS2 set to the install location of MSYS2, and add the MSYS2 and MinGW binary directories to your Windows path in the following order:
```
%MSYS2%/mingw64/bin
%MSYS2%/mingw32/bin
%MSYS2%/usr/bin
```
