Anyhoo, I don't know what to download and install.
I am following this tutorial: http://www.salyens.com/mingw/
Firstly, I downloaded and installed MSys, which installed just fine. It left me with a directory in c:\msys\1.0\ which contained the following directories.
/bin
/doc
/home
/mingw
/uninstall
And, the shell works fine.
Now, I need to set up MinGW. But I don't know what to download! The downloading page is confusing (to me at least).
http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml <-- download page
I downloaded the gcc-ada-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz binary from the "current" section. Then, I unzipped it in the /mingw directory of MSys.. which according to the tutorial is what I should've done.
The tutorial then tells me to edit the /etc/fstab file. Ok. I didn't have an /etc directory. So I created it and then created the fstab file with the lines in the tutorial... editing them to point to my actual installation directories.
So I THOUGHT everything was fine.
So then I downloaded the ffmpeg library, and followed the tutorial for how to make it.
The output:Windows/MSys:
