MSYS-1.0.11 has been running fine for a couple weeks on all my
computers, both in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The RXVT version is
running fine on 64-bit Windows Vista (I didn't try the non-RXVT
version). Version 1.0.10 in RXVT window on 64-bit Windows Vista went
into an endless loop, creating windows like crazy.
The desktop MSYS icon, as installed, uses the non-RXVT setup. The Start
menu has both the RXVT and non-RXVT versions to select.
If there are other uses for MSYS from within Gnucash, other than the
command window which I use for building, I didn't test them.
MSYS-1.0.11 INSTALL PROCEDURE
This is to a fully downloaded and built Gnucash build folder structure.
1. Uninstall Msys 1.0.10
2. Download to c:\soft\msys (select the direct link from within this
page, if nothing happens)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download
3. Execute MSYS-1.0.11.exe from within c:\soft\msys with the following
prompt replies (defaults for anything else):
Folder: c:\soft\msys (without the 1.0 sub-folder)
MingW installed: yes (I also tried no, after renaming c:/soft/mingw,
but didn't get a request to install it)
Mingw installation at c:/soft/mingw (forward slashes)
Add mount bindings: y
Use rxvt (if it asks): yes

MinGW has recently released msys 0.11 and gcc 4.4.0. Has anyone tried them?
The previous gcc was 3.4 or something archaic like that.
