1. Install msys as usual (yes 32-bit, there is no 64-bit at the
moment, and that won't
   happen anytime soon.)  It works perfectly for both 32-bit and 64-bit.

2. Download and install mingw64 -- use the automated installation (anything else
    is a nightmare, at least from my perspective.)

    There are two versions: (a) one that defaults to 32-bit, but can
also generate code on demand;
     (b) one that defaults to 64-bit, but can generate 32-bit on demand.
    I use the latter.

3. You should be good to go.
