  1. Run MSYS-1.0.10.exe and install using the defaults
  2. Run MSYS
  3. cd into /mingwcd /mingw
  4. Figure out the path to your downloaded files. My path was /c/temp/ls /c/temp/
  5. run this command for i in /c/temp/mingw/*.tar.gz ; do tar -xzf $i ; done adjusting the path as required
  6. run this command for i in /c/temp/mingw/*.tar.bz2 ; do tar -xjf $i ; done adjusting the path as required

You should now have a functioning MinGW/MSYS build environment.
