Camillus, it all depends whether you are on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows,
if you want to build binaries for 64-bit or  32-bit, standalone or for
running in the MSYS environment, etc etc. The full documentation is on
the MSYS2 web site msys2.sf.net. And please read the install
instruction on msys2.github.io word by word.

To install gcc on 64-bit for building 64-bit standalone executables,
install this gcc package:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
pacman -S make

Note that in your MSYS or MinGW-w64 shells you are in a virtual file
tree that is rooted at the MSYS2 install location, i.e. your home
directory /home/user is under C:\msys64\home\user if you install it
there. From within the shell you can access the full C: (or any other)
partition by e.g. /c/Users/user/Desktop . That way you can copy the
lwtools binaries into /usr/local/bin or add their location to your
PATH.
