'''We do not (officially) support building in this way''' and we don't recommend using this method if you want to distribute your ScummVM builds.
We don't recommend using this method if you want to distribute your ScummVM builds. Release builds should be done using [[Compiling ScummVM/MXE|MXE]] if possible, since this allows building an (almost) statically linked executable for easy distribution. Feel free to contact me (rootfather) either via eMail or IRC if you have questions regarding MSYS2/MinGW-w64.
