| MinGW Makefiles | |
| --------------- | |
| Generates makefiles for use with ``mingw32-make`` under a Windows command | |
| prompt. | |
| Use this generator under a Windows command prompt with MinGW in the ``PATH`` | |
| and using ``mingw32-make`` as the build tool. The generated makefiles use | |
| ``cmd.exe`` as the shell to launch build rules. They are not compatible with | |
| MSYS or a unix shell. | |
| To build under the MSYS shell, use the :generator:`MSYS Makefiles` generator. |
