Packages needed

Be very sure to install the packages correct for your architecture. The Guide refers to intel-64bit. Using the same procedure with the respective packages for 32bit failed currently. One package is msys, the other for mingw64

Be sure to work in the correct shell: for the 64bit example, launch and work inside MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit
