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".

| This guide covers '''only''' the compilation under MinGW64 and MSYS2, and makes heavy use of the pacman package manager, which may not be available under other MinGW setups.

=== Setup MinGW and MSYS ===
=== MinGW and MSYS ===
 
'''NOTE:''' This guide is a vast simplification of that found [https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/MSYS2%20installation/ here]. While this article should be enough, we recommend you read through the entire guide.
 
==== Download ====
'''Download''' and '''execute''' the MSYS2 bundle for your architecture from [http://msys2.github.io/ here].
 
==== Update the core of MSYS2 ====
In the installation folder run msys2-shell.bat, which should open a MSYS2 terminal.
Type the following command, to update the core dependencies of the environment:
 
<syntax type="bash">
$> update-core
</syntax>
 
''Restart the MSYS2 terminal.''
Type the following command, to update the managed packages:
<syntax type="bash">
$> pacman -Su
</syntax>
 
==== Download and install the compilation toolchain====
In the MSYS2 terminal, type:
<syntax type="bash">
$> pacman -S mingw-w64-<env>-toolchain
</syntax>
where <env> is either x86_64 or i686, depending on your architecture (64-bit and 32-bit, respectively).
 
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:
 
<syntax type="bash">
$> pacman -S make
</syntax>
 
=== Install the needed libraries ===
In order to compile properly, ScummVM needs you to have certain libraries installed. All the libraries in the list can be installed with similar commands:
<syntax type="bash">
$> pacman -S mingw-w64-<env>-<library>
</syntax>
where <env> is the environment as previously stated, and <library> is the name of the library, as stated in the list (e.g. pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL):
 
* '''SDL''' Mandatory.
 
* '''nasm''' Optional, for faster compile of scalers.
 
* '''flac'''. Optional, for FLAC support.
 
* '''libogg''' and '''libvorbis''' Optional, for OGG support.
 
* '''libmad''' Optional, for MP3 support.
 
* '''libmpeg2''' Optional, for MPEG2 cutscene support.
 
* '''zlib'''. Optional, for compressed saved games.
 
* '''libtheora'''. Optional, for Broken Sword 2.5.
 
* '''libfaad2'''. Optional, for AAC support.
 
* '''libpng'''. Optional, for PNG support.
 
* '''freetype'''. Optional, for TTF support.
 
* '''fluidsynth'''. Optional, for soundfont MIDI support.
 
=== Let's get compiling! ===
 
Finally, we are ready to compile the project!
To do that, just open a MSYS2 console, [http://gvsigce.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Getting_started_with_MSYS#Navigating_the_file_system navigate] to the source folder where you have cloned scummvm.git, and type the following commands:
<syntax type="bash">
$> ./configure # Executes a bash script that helps you configure.
$> make # Executes the make program, which triggers the compilation.
</syntax>
 
If everything went well, you should have a big executable in the compilation folder, named scummvm.exe. The size of the executable comes from the debug symbols embedded in the file, so you can run the following command to shrink it:
<syntax type="bash">
$> strip scummvm.exe
</syntax>
 
== Ready to go! ==
 
OK this should be all of it (hopefully), so you should be good to go.
 
== Common Issues ==
 
* If the executable compiles correctly, but you get a "somelibrary.dll missing" error when executing it, you just need to add the following path to your PATH variable: <installdir>/msys<env>/mingw64/bin/
 
== Compilation in older versions of MinGW and MSYS ==

From the developer's webpage: "MSYS or Minimal SYStem is a POSIX and Bourne shell environment use with MinGW. It provides a hand picked set of tools to allow a typical configuration script with Bourne syntax to execute. This allows most of the GNU packages to create a Makefile just from executing the typical configure script which can then be used to build the package using the native MinGW version of GCC".

==== NASM ====
=== NASM ===


First of all, we need nasm. So unzip the nasm archive in a directory, and copy both files to MinGW's bin directory. Alternatively, you can include the folder you unzipped the files in your system path. To do this, go to Control Panel->System, Advanced tab->environment variables and edit the "PATH" variable in the system variables list, adding the folder where you placed the aforementioned files. Directories in the system path are split with a semicolon (;), e.g. "C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\nasm".
