 ==== Download and install the mingw-w64 compilation toolchain====
-In the MSYS2 terminal, type:
+The MinGW packages are named mingw-<env>-<package>, where <env> is either x86_64 or i686, depending on your architecture (64-bit and 32-bit, respectively).
+To create an i686 build environment, we need to first update the already installed packages. To do that, type the following in the MSYS2 terminal:
 <source lang="bash">
-	$> pacman -S mingw-w64-<env>-toolchain
+	$> pacman -Syu
 </source>

-This command will fetch and install the packages needed for compiling, including (but not limited to) GCC 5.x, GDB, and libwinpthread-git.
-==== Install make ====
-ScummVM uses Makefiles to build the project. Makefiles are build configuration files that the compiler uses to compile, link and solve dependencies. "make" is the software that runs the Makefiles.
-MSYS2 does not support make out of the box, but it has its own implementation. Install it by typing:
