 MSysGit provides a Unix-like shell (bash) environment, so that you can use Git easily from the command line.

+MinGW includes the GCC compiler suite for Windows. You need it to build X2Go Client.
 Since X2Go Client 4.0.3.0, X2Go Client uses Qt 4.8.6 specifically. Qt 4.8.6 uses MinGW 4.8.x. Qt 4.8.6 for Windows recommends this specific build of MinGW, so it is this specific build that you should use.

 === Providing OpenSSL support in Qt ===
-As X2Go Client needs a Qt with SSL support you must install OpenSSL for MS Windows. OpenSSL depends on the [[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784|Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributables]]. Get that (32-bit version, x86) from the Microsoft site and install it prior to installing OpenSSL.

 Download the OpenSSL installer for Windows by browsing [[http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html|here]] and selecting "Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.1*" where "1.0.1*" s the current version. You can also download it from [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/3rd-party/Win32OpenSSL/|our site]], but only do so if we have the current version. Install it on your build system (for example to directory ''d:\OpenSSL-Win32'').
