Install of MINGW fails when installing from MSYS2
I have MSYS2 installed on a Windows 11 machine, and in the terminal window for MSYS2 I use pacman to try to install MinGW but I get an immediate fail:
Anyone who has experienced the same thing, or could point me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated.
Solution
Since your company has a policy against installing MSYS2 you could consider using MinGW-w64 from https://winlibs.com/ which requires no installer.
But if they block things like gcc.exe than that won't work either, but it's worth a try.
