'''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.

Our officially supported MinGW build instructions are at [[Compiling_ScummVM/MinGW]]. Release builds should be done using [[Compiling ScummVM/MXE|MXE]] if possible, since this allows building an (almost) statically linked executable for easy distribution.

| Please note that current versions of MSYS2/Mingw64 cannot be installed on Windows XP anymore. '''However, builds produced with the MSYS2/Mingw64 toolchain will still work on Windows XP.'''
| Despite the name, MinGW-w64 works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, but the latest versions cannot be installed on Windows XP anymore. '''However, builds produced will still work on Windows XP.'''
 
If you need to support older Windows, check out [[Compiling_ScummVM/MinGW|MinGW]].
