## Mingw-w64 Build with MSYS2
### Note that these instructions are a draft, and are dependant on the mingw build changes to be merged
#### Prerequistes to install
* [MSYS2](http://msys2.github.io/)
** Make sure to follow the instructions and update to the latest version by running `pacman -Syu` as many times as needed.
#### Install citra dependancies for mingw-w64
* Open the mingw64.exe shell
* Use `pacman -S {name}` to install them where name is the following dependancies
** mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5
** mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2
** mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake
** git
#### Clone the citra repository with git.
** `git clone --recursive https://github.com/citra-emu/citra.git`
#### Run the following commands to build citra (dynamic linked build)
```bash
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
```
##### Note! This build is not a static build meaning that you need to include all of the dlls with the exe in order to use it.
#### Creating a static build
* Instead of installing mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 install mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-static
* Add -DMINGW_STATIC_BUILD to the cmake command line
