+ @subsection Native Windows compilation using MSYS2
+ 
+ The MSYS2 MinGW-w64 environment provides ready to use toolchains and dependencies
+ through @command{pacman}.
+ 
+ Make sure to use @file{mingw64_shell.bat} or @file{mingw32_shell.bat} to have
+ the correct MinGW-w64 environment.
+ 
+ @example
+ # normal msys2 packages
+ pacman -S make pkgconf diffutils
+ 
+ # mingw-w64 packages and toolchains
+ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-yasm mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL
+ @end example
+ 
+ To target 32bit replace the @code{x86_64} with @code{i686} in the command above.
