When you install MSYS2 from msys2.org, you get three possible build targets, depending on what you set MSYSTEM to: MSYSTEM=MINGW32 MSYSTEM=MINGW64 MSYSTEM=MSYS When a buildfarm member identifiers itself as "msys ... 2", then I would expect the third variant, but that's not what it's doing. A MSYSTEM=MSYS build is similar to a Cygwin build (since MSYS2 is a fork of Cygwin), which is also a valid thing to do, but it's obviously quite different from a mingw build. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
