Hi Jack,

I just installed MSYS2, cloned the git repo from
https://github.com/git/git and then tried to build from the "MSYS2
MinGW Clang x64" prompt.  Of course this was a clean MSYS2 install, so
I had to first install for myself vim, git to download the repo and
for the build: make and gcc.  However, after running the make command,
I'm still getting errors:

You most likely installed the `gcc` package, but that would produce an
MSYS version of Git, while you are clearly interested in the MINGW
version. Therefore, you should probably install `mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc`.

To verify that you have the correct `gcc`, run `which gcc`. If it prints
`/usr/bin/git`, you are still stuck with the MSYS variant, what you want
is `/mingw64/bin/git` to be printed.

Ciao,
Johannes

Anyone have any idea why it's not building?
