  there are many MinGW versions that behave slightly differently and often
  cause problems.

<h3 id="getting-msys2">Getting MSYS2</h3>

  The first thing to install is [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org) to provide a
  basic UNIX-like environment for Windows. Unfortunately, the binaries are not
  signed and there is no way to verify their integrity, so only download this
  from a trusted connection. Everything else you will download using MSYS2
  later will be cryptographically signed.

<h3 id="updating-msys2">Updating MSYS2</h3>

  The first thing to do is updating MSYS2. It is important to update things in
  a certain order, as `pacman` (the package manager MSYS2 uses, which comes
  from Arch Linux) does not know about a few things that are special on
  Windows.

  First, update the mirror list:

    $ pacman -Sy pacman-mirrors


  Then proceed to update the `msys2-runtime` itself, `bash` and `pacman`:


    $ pacman -S msys2-runtime bash pacman mintty

  Now close the current window and restart MSYS2, as the current window is now
  defunct. In a new MSYS2 window, update the rest of MSYS2:


    $ pacman -Su

  Now you have a fully updated MSYS2. Whenever you want to update MSYS2,
  proceed in this order. Notice that the first `pacman` invocation includes
  `-y` to actually fetch a new list of packages.

<h3 id="installing-mingw-w64">Installing MinGW-w64 using MSYS2</h3>

  Now it's time to install MinGW-w64. If you want to build 32 bit binaries:


    $ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-clang mingw-w64-i686-gcc-objc

  For 64 bit binaries:


    $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-clang mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-objc

  There is nothing wrong with installing them both, as MSYS2 has created two
  entries in your start menu: `MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell` and
  `MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell`. So if you want to build for 32 or 64 bit, you just
  start the correct shell.

  Finally, install a few more things needed to build ObjFW:

    $ pacman -S autoconf automake fossil make

<h3 id="steps-windows">Getting, building and installing ObjFW</h3>

  Start the MinGW-w64 Win32 or Win64 Shell (depening on what version you want
  to build - do *not* use the MSYS2 Shell shortcut, but use the MinGW-w64 Win32
  or Win64 Shell shortcut instead!) and check out ObjFW:

    $ fossil clone https://objfw.nil.im objfw.fossil
    $ mkdir objfw && cd objfw
    $ fossil open ../objfw.fossil

  You can also download a release tarball if you want. Now go to the newly
  checked out repository and build and install it:

    $ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j16 install

  If everything was successfully, you can now build projects using ObjFW for
  Windows using the normal `objfw-compile` and friends.

  there are many MinGW versions that behave slightly differently and often
  cause problems.

<h3 id="getting-msys2">Getting MSYS2</h3>

  The first thing to install is [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org) to provide a
  basic UNIX-like environment for Windows. Unfortunately, the binaries are not
  signed, so make sure you download it via HTTPS. However, packages you

  download and install via MSYS2 are cryptographically signed.

<h3 id="setting-up-msys2">Setting up MSYS2</h3>


  MSYS2 currently supports 5 different


  [environments](https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/). All of them except

  for the one called just "MSYS" are supported, but which packages you need to

  install depends on the environment(s) you want to use.


  For MINGW64, use:

    $ pacman -Syu mingw-w64-x86_64-clang mingw-w64-x86_64-fossil



  For UCRT64, use:

    $ pacman -Syu mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-clang mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-fossil

  For CLANG64, use:



    $ pacman -Syu mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-clang mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-fossil


  For MINGW32, use:

    $ pacman -Syu mingw-w64-i686-clang mingw-w64-i686-fossil


  When using `pacman` to install the packages, `pacman` might tell you to close
  the window. If it does so, close the window, restart MSYS2 and execute the
  `pacman` command again.

  There is nothing wrong with installing multiple environments, as MSYS2 has
  created shortcuts for each of them in your start menu. Just make sure to use

  the correct shortcut for the environment you want to use.

  Finally, install a few more things that are common between all environments:

    $ pacman -S autoconf automake make

<h3 id="steps-windows">Getting, building and installing ObjFW</h3>

  Start the MSYS2 using the shortcut for the environment you want to use and

  check out ObjFW:

    $ fossil clone https://objfw.nil.im



  You can also download a release tarball if you want. Now `cd` to the newly
  checked out repository and build and install it:

    $ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j16 install

  If everything was successful, you can now build projects using ObjFW for
  Windows using the normal `objfw-compile` and friends.
