MSYS Makefiles
--------------
Generates MSYS makefiles.
Generates makefiles for use with MSYS ``make`` under the MSYS shell.
The makefiles use /bin/sh as the shell. They require msys to be
installed on the machine.
Use this generator in a MSYS shell prompt and using ``make`` as the build
tool. The generated makefiles use ``/bin/sh`` as the shell to launch build
rules. They are not compatible with a Windows command prompt.
To build under a Windows command prompt, use the
:generator:`MinGW Makefiles` generator.
