MSYS2

MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software.

It consists of a command line terminal called mintty, bash, version control systems like git and subversion, tools like tar and awk and even build systems like autotools, all based on a modified version of Cygwin. Despite some of these central parts being based on Cygwin, the main focus of MSYS2 is to provide a build environment for native Windows software and the Cygwin-using parts are kept at a minimum. MSYS2 provides up-to-date native builds for GCC, mingw-w64, CPython, CMake, Meson, OpenSSL, FFmpeg, Rust, Ruby, just to name a few.

    MSYS2 uses a non-standard format in their version number (20250830) which contains more than 5 digits per segment (ex: 12345.12345.12345.12345). This non-standard format prevents our current detection methods from working properly and we are unable to support this product at this time. We can revisit this app once we support custom detection scripts.
