# MSYS Makefiles

Generates makefiles for use with MSYS `make` under the MSYS shell.

Use this generator in a MSYS shell prompt and using `make` as the build tool. The generated makefiles use `/bin/sh` as the shell to launch build rules. They are not compatible with a Windows command prompt.

To build under a Windows command prompt, use the `MinGW Makefiles` generator.
