To help people with a variety of MSYS challenges and getting started, here are some tutorial-like answers and content I've produced that I invite you to link to somewhere on your website:

  1. Installing & setting up MSYS2 from scratch, including adding all 7 profiles to Windows Terminal...so you can build native Windows applications with gcc on Windows.
    1. Part 2, including building, CMake, and Unix sockets on Windows
  2. Detecting your build platform/environment in C and C++ at compile-time in Linux, Windows, GCC, MSYS2, Cygwin, etc.
  3. My repo: full demo of building and running Unix sockets in the MSYS terminl on Windows: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_Linux_Windows_CMake_Sockets_MSYS2
  4. How to specify in which of the 7 MSYS2 terminals to run a command in Windows from Bash, Command Prompt, & PowerShell

I'm a Linux user, so thank you so much for finally making Windows development bearable! With MSYS2 I can build and run the same code on Windows, including Unix sockets, as I can on Linux! THANK YOU!
