Description Alexander Simon 2015-01-15 13:27:39 UTC
NB requires MSYS to MinGW tool collection.
It led to bunch of problem.
1. Latest distribution of MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) contains inside command folder (MinGW/msys/1.0/bin). There is no need to install separate MSYS.
2. Latest distribution of MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) does not write in registry location of MinGW and MSYS. IDE cannot find MinGW and MSYS by registry.
3. Tool collection based on latest CLang (http://llvm.org/) works in case paths contains path to Clang, MinGW and MSYS.

Please simplify supporting tool collection.
Expected following:
1. User installs MinGW by default in C:\MinGW folder.
There is no needs install MSYS.
There is no needs to modify system environment variables.
IDE automatically detects MinGW tool collection.
Welcome sample successfully can be build and run.
2. User additionally installs CLang and add tool collection. 
Welcome sample successfully can be build and run by CLang tool collection.
