Empty folders

ConnorDarghaoui opened this issue ยท 9 comments

When the installation is finished, no errors appear, but the "bin" and other folders are empty.

What do you mean by bin, the /usr/bin folder or the /mingw64/bin etc folders? Because if it's /mingw64 and other environments that's by design so that users can pick and choose what toolkit they want using pacman package manager.

Oh, now I feel very silly, I think that's it. if i talk about /mingw64. what should i do to "fix" this? .

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain to get the most basic setup but if you want to see packages available go to https://packages.msys2.org to see what's there.

pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
Has to be executed in msys2.exe
Same happened to me. I actually ran the commands but in MinGW instead of msys2

(Ideally those empty dirs would be gone, to avoid confusion, but that is blocked by msys2/msys2-pacman#17)
