I'd agree with Stephen. I've used MinGW / msys for years and would never consider doing any open source development (especially involving C) without it.
In the past, installing it has only taken a few minutes. That still looks to be the case for MinGW but it now appears that msys has been split into a confusing and long list of packages. I think that it needs a standard installer as well (in fact the combined MinGW/msys package needs one standard installer as I think it is rare these days to use one without the other.)
