Install of MSYS
Note : This can be installed even with MSYS2 is installed, they are in different directories, and don't interfer with each others, unless you force things to mess up on purpose
!
First, get MSYS-1.0.11.exe
here and install it. When prompted for the mingw location, enter the directory where you've put komisar's gcc build (it should be "C:/MinGW" if you haven't changed the default of this tutorial).
Possible stop point
It could be enough if you just want to compile x264, and use the packlibs of komisar for ffmpeg and all. It was what i've done during a long time. But, you're bound to komisar's builds of libpack, which is largely enough for standard x264, but not for t_mod version for exemple.
Don't misunderstand me, komisar is doing great job providing what is providing, i'm just saying that if you want more, learn how to do it and do it yourself. I must said that the learning process especialy for ffmpeg has been a little painfull...
But if you want to build your own ffmpeg and all versions using this second method, installation continues.
Get msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
here, and install it.
Now, all the others files to install are compressed files. They are not exe you install, but files you unpack and put directly on the msys directory.
Browsing and searching inside
here get all the following files and install them :

Now, after you've finished, you have a msys setup able to compile ffmpeg.
You can now launch the shell using either the "MSYS" icon created on desktop, or with menu : MinGW -> MSYS -> MSYS.
Unlike the MSYS2 configuration, because using komisar's gcc version, there is no need for an x86 or an x64 specific mingw shell.
But msys is a closed project, so there is no updates anymore or anything. You could have guessed, it's been replaced (or updated) by MSYS2.
