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.
