Ah; that says /mingw64/*

but it did _not_ put them there.

Msys2 seems to be very confused about what "/" means. 'mount' says:

C:/MinGW64/msys64 on /usr type ntfs (binary,noacl,auto)
C:/MinGW64/msys64 on / type ntfs (binary,noacl,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

but 'ls /' clearly shows the contents of c:\

c:/mingw64 does _not_ contain the result of installing make. Neither
does c:/MinGW64/msys64/mingw64; that doesn't exist.

I'm guessing pacman and/or the mingw-w64-x86_64-make package are
assuming that c:/MinGW64 is mounted at '/mingw64', similar to '/mingw'
in MSYS.
 
But I don't see how to implement that. I have MinGW64 unpacked in
c:/MinGW64/mingw64, so I try:

$ mkdir /mingw64
$ mount c:/MinGW64/mingw64 /mingw64
$ mount 
C:/MinGW64/msys64 on /usr type ntfs (binary,noacl,auto)
C:/MinGW64/msys64 on / type ntfs (binary,noacl,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
$ ls /mingw64
$

why doesn't that work?

Now when I do 'pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-make', the files are installed
in c:/MinGW64/msys64/mingw64

No, I'm asking because I'm wondering what I need to add to PATH to see
that 'make'.

right.
