如何永久更改 MSYS2 路径？

Question

I want to permanently add /mingw64/bin to the MSYS2 PATH.

I have tried:

export PATH=$PATH:/mingw64/bin

It works until I exit.

After I restart MSYS2 the path has reset to what it was before.

What do I need to do to add /mingw64/bin to the PATH so the change persists after I quit and restart the MSYS2 console?

Answer 1

You shouldn't manually add /??/bin to the PATH in the MSYS2 terminal.

It happens automatically (along with other changes to environment variables) when you open the terminal for the environment you want to use .

There should be different shortcuts for different environments, the one you're looking for should be named along the lines of ... MinGW 64-bit .

The shortcuts point to executables in C:\msys64 , which you can run directly (this one is mingw64.exe ).
