It may be possible to build liblzma with other toolchains too, but

the command line tools with non-GNU toolchains will be harder than

building only liblzma.

Even if liblzma is built with MinGW, the resulting DLL or static

library can be used by other compilers and linkers, including MSVC.

Thus, it shouldn't be a problem to use MinGW to build liblzma even
|

if you cannot use MinGW to build the rest of your project. See
|

Starting with XZ Utils 5.2.0, building liblzma (not the whole
|

XZ Utils) should work with MSVC 2013 update 2 or later using
|

windows/config.h. No project files or makefiles are included yet,

so the build process isn't as convenient yet as it could be.

Some of the following is needed:
|
||||
- MSYS is always needed to use the GNU Autotools based build system.
|
||||
- MinGW builds 32-bit x86 binaries.
|
||||
- MingW-w32 builds 32-bit x86 executables too.
|
||||
- 32-bit MinGW-w64 (I call it MingW-w32 here) builds 32-bit x86
|
||||
executables too.
|
||||
- MinGW-w64 builds 64-bit x86-64 binaries.
|
||||
|
||||
So you need to pick between MinGW and MinGW-w32 when building
|
||||
32-bit version. You don't need both.

some files (especially the .tar.lzma files). The ready-made

It's under "MSYS Base System". I recommend using MSYS 1.0.11
