Yes, this page looks more like it. However, this page asks you to create minGW Makefiles as opposed to MSYS Makefiles I suggested. This is OK as well. I personally prefer the Msys shell to do my various builds.

I think Eduard is managing this page? I have been providing the devlibs for the 64-bit builds while he's been handling the packaging and building. Let's wait for him to respond.

Sorry guys, I only updated the page to adapt it to the updated devlibs provided by Partha and only with respect to the btool build.
I did not have time to look into CMake myself, so I can't help you out with it (yet).

@Partha: What's the advantage of "MSYS Makefiles" compared to "minGW Makefiles"?
The problem I see is that we'd probably have to require peole to install MSYS and therefore yet another dependecy which would make it even harder to get started with development on Windows. If we could avoid it that would likely be preferable, but if MSYS offers a large benefit it might be worth a thought.
