Improvements to building and CI for mingw/msys I was getting error messages when trying to follow the build instructions the mingw build for Rust, and managed to track the issue down to an incomparability of Rust's bootstrap program with MSYS2's version of git. Essentially, the problem is that MSYS2's git works in emulated unix-y paths, but bootstrap expects a Windows path. I found a workaround for this by using relative paths instead of absolute paths. Along with that fix, this PR also updates the build instructions for MinGW to be compatible with modern versions of MSYS2, and some changes to CI to make sure that MSYS2's version of git is tested. In particular, I'm suggesting using the [MSYS2 github action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-msys2) specially made for this purpose, which is much less hacky than the old approach and gives us more control of what packages are installed. I also cleaned up as many alternate versions of key tools as I could find from PATH, to avoid accidental usage, and cleaned up some abuses of the `CUSTOM_MINGW` environment variable. This fixes rust-lang/rust#105696 and fixes rust-lang/rust#117567

Hi, I'm trying to build on Windows and running into problems.
I'm following the readme and starting with a clean Windows 10 machine, installing
git
,python
andcmake
withwinget
.From there, with the MinGW build I use pacman to install the listed packages, and invoke
After a while, it eventually fails with the error message
Which is similar to #105696. In that issue, they mention that the main readme instructions are wrong (but still haven't been updated) and that
git
installed bypacman
is the source of the problem, so I removed it and reran the python scripts (from a mingw terminal)I'm not sure what to make of this error, so I thought I'd also try building with the MSVC toolchain and see if that works.
For the MSVC build, I downloaded visual studio and installed the Windows 10 SDK and C++ x64/86 build tools packages. Then, when running
x.py
again fromcmd.exe
I get the same kind of errorCan anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
