First of all, we need nasm. So unzip the nasm archive in a directory, copy "nasmw.exe" to "nasm.exe" (because some projects call one and others call the other) and include the folder it is stored in into 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". Alternatively, you can just copy both files in MinGW's bin directory, e.g. C:\MinGW\bin as this should be already in your system path

Changes to the PATH will be reflected on newly opened command prompts only, so if you got any open already, close them to avoid confusion

Now, we need to setup SDL. Go to SDL's folder and type 'make install prefix=/mingw' (note the forward slash, since you are using MSYS).

When everything is compiled, copy the include\ogg folder inside MinGW's include folder. So, you should end up with an ogg folder in MinGW's include folder. Also, copy the src\.libs folder as-is inside MinGW's lib folder, and also copy the files from the src\.libs folder inside MinGW's lib folder (because ogg libraries are searched both in the lib and in the lib\.libs folder)

When everything is compiled, copy the include\vorbis folder inside MinGW's include folder. So, you should end up with a vorbis folder in MinGW's include folder. Also, copy lib\.libs folder from libvorbis folder as-is inside MinGW's lib folder, and also copy the files from the lib\.libs folder from libvorbis folder inside MinGW's lib folder (because vorbis libraries are searched both in the lib and in the lib\.libs folder)

After you compile mpeg2dec, go to its include directory, create a folder "mpeg2dec" in there and copy all files from the include folder in this subfolder. So you should end up with 2 directories, "include" and "include\mpeg2dec" with the same files. This is needed, as ScummVM includes files from the "mpeg2dec" directory. Copy this mpeg2dec folder inside MinGW's include folder. Then, copy lib\.libs folder from libmpeg2 folder as-is inside MinGW's lib folder, and also copy the files from the lib\.libs folder from libmpeg2 folder inside MinGW's lib folder (because libmpeg2 libraries are searched both in the lib and in the lib\.libs folder)
