    Cygwin and MSYS2 -- as projects -- have significantly different goals. Cygwin tries to bring a POSIX-compatible environment to Windows so that most software that runs on unices will build and run on Cygwin without any significant modifications. Cygwin provides a large collection of packages containing such software, and libr…

    MSYS2 just calls cygwin.dll something else. It works the same Cygwin does. Your code is more likely to work with Cygwin than MSYS2. MSYS2 is really isn't meant to create MSYS2 programs other than those that are part of MSYS2. MSYS2 mainly meant to create Windows "native" programs using Unix-like tools.

      Is MSYS2 based on Cygwin?
      Despite some of these central parts being based on Cygwin, the main focus of MSYS2 is to provide a build environment for native Windows software and the Cygwin-using parts are kept at a minimum. MSYS2 provides up-to-date native builds for GCC, mingw-w64, CPython, CMake, Meson, OpenSSL, FFmpeg, Rust, Ruby, just to name a few.

      What is the difference between MinGW and MSYS2?
      While MinGW* applications are Windows native executables, MSYS2 software requires a POSIX-emulation layer, just like Cygwin does. At least to a casual user, it is hard to spot the differences between the two.

      How Cygwin and MinGW-w64 are related?
      Even Cygwin is listed. How Cygwin and MinGW-w64 are related? My current understanding is, in the time of MinGW+MSYS, MSYS is just a nice addon to MinGW, while in MinGW-w64 + MSYS2, MSYS2 is standalone and MinGW-w64 is just a set of libraries it can work with.

      What is MSYS2 used for?
      MSYS2 provides a minimal shell required to run autotools and other build systems which get the source for software from the Internet from different repositories, configure them and build them. The shell and core tools exist mainly to allow porting Unix programs to run natively on Windows (i.e. without requiring a POSIX emulation layer).

      MSYS2 vs Cygwin The unixy tools in MSYS2 are directly based on Cygwin, so there is some overlap there. While Cygwin focuses on building Unix software on Windows as is, MSYS2 focuses on building native software built against the Windows APIs. MSYS2 vs Arch Linux
