MinGW Makefiles — CMake 4.3.0 Documentation

# MinGW Makefiles

Generates makefiles for use with `mingw32-make` under a Windows command prompt.

Use this generator under a Windows command prompt with MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) 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 `MSYS Makefiles` generator.
