<h2 id="_on_windows">On Windows</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk can be used on Windows inside an MSYS2 environment.
Cygwin, MSYS (the original) and native Windows (both Batch
and PowerShell) are currently not supported.</p></div>
<div class="admonitionblock">

</div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The rest of this section details how to setup Erlang/OTP and
MSYS2 in order to use Erlang.mk.</p></div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_installing_erlang_otp">Installing Erlang/OTP</h4>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk requires Erlang/OTP to be installed. The OTP team
provides binaries of Erlang/OTP for all major and minor releases,
available from the <a href="http://www.erlang.org/download.html">official download page</a>.
It is recommended that you use the 64-bit installer unless
technically impossible. Please follow the instructions from
the installer to complete the installation.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The OTP team also provides a short guide to
<a href="http://www.erlang.org/download.html">installing Erlang/OTP on Windows</a>
if you need additional references.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can install Erlang/OTP silently using the <code>/S</code> switch
on the command line:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>C:\Users\essen\Downloads> otp_win64_18.0.exe /S</code></pre>
</div></div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_installing_msys2">Installing MSYS2</h4>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The only supported environment on Windows is MSYS2. MSYS2 is
a lightweight Unix-like environment for Windows that comes
with the Arch Linux package manager, <code>pacman</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The MSYS2 project provides a <a href="http://msys2.github.io">one click installer</a>
and instructions to set things up post-installation.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>It is currently not possible to use the installer silently.
Thankfully, the MSYS2 project provides an archive that can
be used in lieu of the installer. The archive however requires
<em>7zip</em> to decompress it.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>First, download the
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/Base/x86_64/msys2-base-x86_64-20150512.tar.xz/download">MSYS2 base archive</a>
and extract it under <em>C:\</em>. Assuming you downloaded the
archive as <em>msys2.tar.xz</em> and put it in <em>C:\</em>, you can
use the following commands to extract it:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>C:\> 7z x msys2.tar.xz
C:\> 7z x msys2.tar > NUL</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Then you can run the two commands needed to perform the
post-installation setup:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>C:\> C:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "pacman --needed --noconfirm -Sy bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime"
C:\> C:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "pacman --noconfirm -Syu"</code></pre>
</div></div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_installing_the_required_msys2_packages">Installing the required MSYS2 packages</h4>
<div class="paragraph"><p>After following these instructions, you can install GNU Make,
Git and any other required softwares. From an MSYS2 shell,
you can call <code>pacman</code> directly:</p></div>

<pre><tt>$ pacman -S git make</tt></pre></div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can use <code>pacman -Ss</code> to search packages. For example,
to find all packages related to GCC:</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>If you are going to compile C/C++ code, you will need to
install this package, as Erlang.mk cannot use the normal
"gcc" package:</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>You can also run commands under the MSYS2 environment from
the Windows command line or batch files. This command will
install GNU Make and Git:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>C:\> C:\msys64\usr\bin\bash -lc "pacman --noconfirm -S git make"</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can use similar <code>bash</code> commands if you need to run programs
inside the MSYS2 environment from a batch file.</p></div>

<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_gotchas">Gotchas</h4>
<div class="paragraph"><p>While most of the basic functionality will just work, there are
still some issues. Erlang.mk needs to be fixed to pass the
right paths when running Erlang scripts. We are working on it.
Erlang.mk is fully tested on both Linux and Windows, but is
lacking tests in the areas not yet covered by this guide,
so expect bugs to be fixed as more tests are added.</p></div>
