MinGW is "a collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows specific header files and import libraries combined with GNU toolsets that allow one to produce native Windows programs that do not rely on any 3rd-party C runtime DLLs".

==== GUI Installation ====
* Download and install the latest [https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/releases/ MinGW Installation Manager] (mingw-get-setup.exe)
* From the list of packages shown, check ''mingw-developer-toolkit-bin'', ''mingw32-base-bin'' and ''mingw32-gcc-g++-bin'' (right-click > Mark for Installation)
* Click the Installation > Apply Changes menu to install MinGW and MSYS
* Once installation is complete, you can run MSYS from inside the MinGW directory (by default C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat)
==== Manual Installation ====

Check the "'''Installing MinGW and MSYS'''" section below for instructions on how to create your ScummVM compilation environment
Both MinGW and MSYS need to be installed and working to compile ScummVM:
 
* Create a directory called mingw in the root directory of drive (ie C:\MinGW\ )
* Extract all the mingw packages to the mingw directory
* Then, install MSYS. After installation, a new console window will appear, asking if you wish to proceed with the post install. Answer 'y' to that prompt. You will then be asked if you have MinGW installed. Answer 'y' to that and then type in the path of your MinGW directory using forward slashes (e.g. C:/MinGW). Make sure that there is no "make" utility in the MinGW bin folder, as this will clash with the make utility in MSYS. With the recent packages described in the section above, you shouldn't have that problem.
* After both MinGW and MSYS are installed correctly, install MSYS DTK
