Compiling libraries with MSYS (MinGW)
It's a pain in the ass. Mainly because it's so difficult to cobble together an "up-to-date" version of MSYS. I'm seriously considering just buying MSVC 6, but I have my doubts about whether that will actually make things any easier.
Of course, the problem could just be that I'm a complete noob.

no i think im the noob not knowing what the fudge MSYMCA or MSVCVS means
MSYMCA, lol. I guess they need two more village people.
MSYS stands for Minimal SYStem. MSVC is Microsoft Visual C++.
MSYS is sort of like a linux command prompt for windows... you need it to create and run certain types of files (configure and make files, I guess) unless you're actually willing to buy a program like MSVC.

So MSYS is basically a console for windows? Whoa.
Does it support make/shell scripts?
