Questions tagged [msys2]

MSYS2 is a modern rewrite of MSYS, both of which are Cygwin (POSIX compatibility layer) forks with the aim of better interoperability with native Windows software.

It comes with a port of ArchLinux's Pacman package manager. Three repos are provided with over 1000 packages.
