3. Add the line "C:/MinGW /mingw" to C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/etc/fstab (create the file if it doesn't exist)

You may need to replace C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/make.exe with C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/make-old.exe or with a copy of make.exe extracted from [mingw-msys](http:https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Base/make/make-3.81-3/) (e.g. make-3.81-3-msys-1.0.13-bin.tar.lzma) if the build does not start correctly

These sections assume you are familiar with building code. If you are not, you should stop reading now and go the the section on binaries. Regardless of which set of steps you followed above, you are now ready to compile julia. Open a unix shell by launching C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/msys.bat (or your favorite shortcut to that file).
