Could someone explain s-l-o-w-l-y how to install a working minGW/Msys?
This morning on a new Windows machine I followed the instructions
except that reality did not coincide with the instructions completely.
The resulting system ran bash and with some effort could be coaxed to
run scons.  Could not find any C compiler and I got to the state of
having folders that Windows could see but not bash.

Now totally confused.

Hi John, I use MinGW/MSYS here and I have never had any issues with 
installation. I don't use scons so I can't comment on that but the 
compiler and all are fine as far as I'm concerned. Is the path to the 
MinGW bin added to the system path, I can't remember is the installer 
does this automatically. What exactly do you mean by folders that 
windows could see but not bash?

Rory.

Well another reinstall and the installation process worked correctly
(ie as the web page said) and it seems to be working.  Now at the
fiascos of how to build portMIDI (or do I not need that?) and getting
the fltk stuff to link.  I am getting loads of undefined references to
things like GetColor and LineTo, which sound like low-level windows
things.  The FLTK tests run OK.
  We will never know why the first and second install failed as there
is no record with all this clicking.
  All I wanted to do was build winsound....

PS What i meant by folders seem by Windows but not by bash was that I
could cd to a folder and ls said it was empty.  Windows said it had
lots of stuff in it.Bash could cd to a subdirectory which ls said did
not exist.....

Adding -lgdi32 means that the first compilation crashed with multiply
defined symbols, like atexit and similar stuff defined in crt0.c

I need to be able to build most stuff; actually I can build without
fltk and without python, but as soon as fltk is involved I get linking
errors.  I could revert to my original makefile, but the other
problems will remain.
