+
+** Missing mingw64.exe launcher
+
+Older versions of Msys2 may lack the mingw64.exe launcher program. If
+you have them, running mingw64_shell.bat or "msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64"
+should work instead.
+
+Alternatively, install mingw64.exe with
+
+ pacman -S msys/msys2-launcher-git
+
+** Check your $PATH
+
+When building Emacs, you should have /mingw64/bin in $PATH, such that running
+
+ which gcc
+
+gives '/mingw64/bin/gcc'.
+
+** Check your $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+
+It should start with '/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig'.
+
+** Check your MSYS2 fstab file
+
+Assuming that MSYS2 is installed in c:\msys64, make sure that your fstab file
+(c:\msys64\etc\fstab) file contains the following lines (starting a column 0
+in the fstab file):
+
+ c:/msys64/mingw64/bin /mingw64/bin ntfs binary,noacl 0 0
+ c:/msys64/mingw32/bin /mingw32/bin ntfs binary,noacl 0 0
+
+Please note that only the first line is needed for 64bit compilation, the
+second one is for a complete fstab file w.r.t. 32bit compilation.
+
+If there is a space in the diectory where MSYS2 is installed, it shall be
+replaced by \040. For instance, if MSYS is installed under "C:\Program
+Files\msys64" there must be this line:
+
+ C:/Program\040Files/msys64/mingw64/bin /mingw64/bin ntfs binary,noacl 0 0
+
+As mentioned above, avoiding spaces is preferable.
