Description
This plugin sets up the MSYS environment for your build on Windows. It does not do anything on non-
windows platforms. MSYS provides the essential tools for building software that is normally expected in
a UNIX or POSIX environment. This like "sh", "awk" and "make". To provide MSYS, this plugin uses
Alien::MSYS.
Helpers
make
%{make}
On windows the default "%{make}" helper is replace with the make that comes with Alien::MSYS. This is
almost certainly what you want, as most unix style make projects will not build with "nmake" or "dmake"
typically used by Perl on Windows.
Name
