FAQ - hvoigt/msys2 GitHub Wiki

  1. Why is update-core not found after an update-core?

    The function of update-core is transferred to pacman -Syuu.

  2. Windows: After pacman -Syu a command window lingers after startup.

    Change the argument /K to /C in all three start menu shortcuts.

  3. How do I inherit the PATH variable from Windows

    Edit the msys2_shell.cmd and uncomment the line which sets MSYS2_PATH_TYPE=inherit or create an environment variable containing this. You can also pass the parameter -use-full-path to msys2_shell.cmd. See this page for further discussion: https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/discussion/general/thread/dbe17030/
