2. Overview
===========
QGIS, like a number of major projects (eg. KDE 4.0), uses CMake
(http://www.cmake.org) for building from source.
Following a summary of the required dependencies for building:
Required build tools:
- CMake >= 2.6.0
- Flex
- Bison
Required build deps:
- Qt >= 4.4.0
- Proj >= 4.4.x
- GEOS >= 3.0
- Sqlite3 >= 3.0.0
- GDAL/OGR >= 1.4.x
- Qwt >= 5.0
Optional dependencies:
- for GRASS plugin - GRASS >= 6.0.0 (libraries compiled with exceptions support on Linux 32bit)
- for georeferencer - GSL >= 1.8
- for postgis support and SPIT plugin - PostgreSQL >= 8.0.x
- for gps plugin - expat >= 1.95 and gpsbabel
- for mapserver export and PyQGIS - Python >= 2.3 (2.5+ preferred)
- for python support - SIP >= 4.8, PyQt >= must match Qt version
- for qgis mapserver - FastCGI
3. Building on GNU/Linux
========================
3.1. Building QGIS with Qt 4.x
==============================
Requires: Ubuntu / Debian derived distro
These notes are for Ubuntu - other versions and Debian derived distros may
require slight variations in package names.
These notes are for if you want to build QGIS from source. One of the major
aims here is to show how this can be done using binary packages for *all*
dependencies - building only the core QGIS stuff from source. I prefer this
approach because it means we can leave the business of managing system packages
to apt and only concern ourselves with coding QGIS!
This document assumes you have made a fresh install and have a 'clean' system.
These instructions should work fine if this is a system that has already been
in use for a while, you may need to just skip those steps which are irrelevant
to you.
/!\ Note: Refer to the section Building Debian packages for building
debian packages. Unless you plan to develop on QGIS, that is probably the
easiest option to compile and install QGIS.
3.2. Prepare apt
================
The packages qgis depends on to build are available in the "universe" component
of Ubuntu. This is not activated by default, so you need to activate it:
1. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
2. Uncomment all the lines starting with "deb"
Also you will need to be running (K)Ubuntu 'edgy' or higher in order for
all dependencies to be met.
Now update your local sources database:
sudo apt-get update
3.3. Install build dependencies

/!\ A Special Note: If you are following this set of instructions on
a system where you already have Qt3 development tools installed, there will
be a conflict between Qt3 tools and Qt4 tools. For example, qmake will
point to the Qt3 version, not the Qt4. Ubuntu Qt4 and Qt3 packages are
designed to live alongside each other. This means that, for example, if you
have them both installed, you will have three qmake exe's:
/usr/bin/qmake -> /etc/alternatives/qmake
/usr/bin/qmake-qt3
/usr/bin/qmake-qt4
The same applies to all other Qt binaries. You will notice above that the
canonical 'qmake' is managed by apt alternatives, so before we start to
build QGIS, we need to make Qt4 the default. To return Qt3 to default later
you can use this same process.
You can use apt alternatives to correct this so that the Qt4 version of
applications is used in all cases:
sudo update-alternatives --config qmake
sudo update-alternatives --config uic
sudo update-alternatives --config designer
sudo update-alternatives --config assistant
sudo update-alternatives --config qtconfig
sudo update-alternatives --config moc
sudo update-alternatives --config lupdate
sudo update-alternatives --config lrelease
sudo update-alternatives --config linguist
Use the simple command line dialog that appears after running each of the
above commands to select the Qt4 version of the relevant applications.
/!\ Note: For python language bindings SIP >= 4.5 and PyQt4 >= 4.1 is required! Some stable GNU/Linux
distributions (e.g. Debian or SuSE) only provide SIP < 4.5 and PyQt4 < 4.1. To include support for python
language bindings you may need to build and install those packages from source.
3.4. Setup ccache (Optional)
============================
You should also setup ccache to speed up compile times:
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ccache gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ccache g++
3.5. Prepare your development environment
=========================================
As a convention I do all my development work in $HOME/dev/<language>, so in
this case we will create a work environment for C++ development work like
this:
mkdir -p ${HOME}/dev/cpp
cd ${HOME}/dev/cpp
This directory path will be assumed for all instructions that follow.
3.6. Check out the QGIS Source Code
===================================
There are two ways the source can be checked out. Use the anonymous method
if you do not have edit privileges for the QGIS source repository, or use
the developer checkout if you have permissions to commit source code
changes.
1. Anonymous Checkout
cd ${HOME}/dev/cpp
git clone git://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS.git
2. Developer Checkout
cd ${HOME}/dev/cpp
git clone git@github.com:qgis/Quantum-GIS.git
3.7. Starting the compile
=========================
I compile my development version of QGIS into my ~/apps directory to avoid
conflicts with Ubuntu packages that may be under /usr. This way for example
you can use the binary packages of QGIS on your system along side with your
development version. I suggest you do something similar:
mkdir -p ${HOME}/apps
Now we create a build directory and run ccmake:
cd Quantum-GIS
mkdir build-master
cd build-master
ccmake ..
When you run ccmake (note the .. is required!), a menu will appear where
you can configure various aspects of the build. If you do not have root
access or do not want to overwrite existing QGIS installs (by your
packagemanager for example), set the CMAKE_BUILD_PREFIX to somewhere you
have write access to (I usually use /home/timlinux/apps). Now press
'c' to configure, 'e' to dismiss any error messages that may appear.
and 'g' to generate the make files. Note that sometimes 'c' needs to
be pressed several times before the 'g' option becomes available.
After the 'g' generation is complete, press 'q' to exit the ccmake
interactive dialog.
Now on with the build:
make
make install
It may take a little while to build depending on your platform.
After that you can try to run QGIS:
$HOME/apps/bin/qgis
If all has worked properly the QGIS application should start up and appear
on your screen.
3.8. Building Debian packages
=============================
Instead of creating a personal installation as in the previous step you can
also create debian package. This is done from the qgis root directory, where
you'll find a debian directory.
First you need to install the debian packaging tools once:
apt-get install build-essential
First you need to create an changelog entry for your distribution. For example for Ubuntu Lucid:
dch -l ~lucid --force-distribution --distribution lucid "lucid build"
The QGIS packages will be created with:
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
/!\ Note: If dpkg-buildpackage complains about unmet build dependencies
you can install them using apt-get and re-run the command.
/!\ Note: If you have libqgis1-dev installed, you need to remove it first
using dpkg -r libqgis1-dev. Otherwise dpkg-buildpackage will complain about a
build conflict.
The packages are created in the parent directory (ie. one level up).
Install them using dpkg. E.g.:
sudo debi
3.9. A practical case: Building QGIS and GRASS from source on Ubuntu with ECW and MrSID formats support
=======================================================================================================
The following procedure has been tested on Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10 and 9.04 32bit. If you want
to use different versions of the software (gdal, grass, qgis), just make the
necessary adjustments to the following code. This guide assumes that you don't have
installed any previous version of gdal, grass and qgis.
3.9.1. Step 1: install base packages
====================================
First you need to install the necessary packages required to download the source
code and compile it. Open the terminal and issue the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ subversion
3.9.2. Step 2: compile and install the ecw libraries
====================================================
Go to the ERDAS web site http://www.erdas.com/ and follow the links
"'products --> ECW JPEG2000 Codec SDK --> downloads'"
then download the "'Image Compression SDK Source Code 3.3'" (you'll need to make a registration
and accept a license).
Uncompress the arquive in a proper location (this guide assumes
that all the downloaded source code will be placed in the user home)
and the enter the newly created folder
cd /libecwj2-3.3
Compile the code with the standard commands
./configure
then
make
then
sudo make install
leave the folder
cd ..
3.9.3. Step 3: download the MrSID binaries
==========================================
Go to the LIZARDTECH web site http://www.lizardtech.com/ and follow the links
"'download --> Developer SDKs'",
then download the "'GeoExpress SDK for Linux (x86) - gcc 4.1 32-bit'"
(you'll need to make a registration and accept a license).
Uncompress the downloaded file. The resulting directory name should be similar to "Geo_DSDK-7.0.0.2167"
3.9.4. Step 4: compile and install the gdal libraries
=====================================================
Download the latest gdal source code
svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal gdal
then copy a few files from the MrSID binaries folder to the folder with the gdal source code
('replace "USERNAME" with your actual account username')
cp /home/USERNAME/Geo_DSDK-7.0.0.2167/include/*.* /home/USERNAME/gdal/frmts/mrsid/
enter the gdal source code folder
cd /gdal
and run configure with a few specific parameters
./configure --without-grass --with-mrsid=../Geo_DSDK-7.0.0.2167 --without-jp2mrsid
at the end of the configuration process you should read something like
...
GRASS support: no
...
...
...
ECW support: yes
MrSID support yes
...
then compile normally
make
and
sudo make install
finish the process by creating the necessary links to the most recent shared libraries
sudo ldconfig
at this point you may want to check if gdal was compiled correctly with MrSID and ECW
support by issuing one (or both) of the following commands
gdalinfo --formats | grep 'ECW'
gdalinfo --formats | grep 'SID'
leave the folder
cd ..
3.9.5. Step 5: compile and install GRASS
========================================
Before downloading and compile GRASS source code you need to install a few
other libraries and programs. We can do this through apt
sudo apt-get install flex bison libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev lesstif2-dev debhelper dpatch libtiff4-dev \
tcl8.4-dev tk8.4-dev fftw-dev xlibmesa-gl-dev libfreetype6-dev autoconf2.13 autotools-dev \
libgdal1-dev proj libjpeg62-dev libpng12-dev libpq-dev unixodbc-dev doxygen fakeroot cmake \
python-dev python-qt4-common python-qt4-dev python-sip4 python2.5-dev sip4 libglew1.5-dev libxmu6 \
libqt4-dev libgsl0-dev python-qt4 swig python-wxversion python-wxgtk2.8 libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-0 tcl8.4-dev \
tk8.4-dev tk8.4 libfftw3-dev libfftw3-3
At this point we can get the GRASS source code: you may want to download it
through svn or maybe you want just to download the latest available source code arquive.
For example the GRASS 6.4rc4 is available at http://grass.itc.it/grass64/source/grass-6.4.0RC4.tar.gz
Uncompress the arquive, enter the newly created folder and run configure with a few specific parameters
CFLAGS="-fexceptions" ./configure --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4 --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
--with-python=/usr/bin/python2.5-config
The additional gcc option -fexceptions is necessary to enable exceptions support in GRASS libraries. It is currently the only way to avoid QGIS crashes if a fatal error happens in GRASS library. See also http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/869
Then as usual (it will take a while)
make
and
sudo make install
leave the folder
cd ..
you have now compiled and installed GRASS (also with the new wxpyhton interface) so you
may want to give it a try
grass64 -wxpython
3.9.6. Step 6: compile and install QGIS
=======================================
As for GRASS you can obtain the QGIS source code from different sources,
for instance from svn or just by downloading one of the source code arquives available
at http://www.qgis.org/download/sources.html
For example download the QGIS 1.1.0 source code here http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/src/qgis_1.1.0.tar.gz
uncompress the arquive and enter the newly created folder
cd /qgis_1.1.0
then run ccmake
ccmake .
press the "c" key, then when the option list will appear we need to manually
configure the "GRASS_PREFIX" parameter. Scroll down until the "GRASS_PREFIX" will appear,
press enter and manually set it to
/usr/local/grass-6.4.0RC4
then press enter again.
Press the "c" again and the option "Press [g] to generate and exit" will appear.
Press the "g" key to generate and exit.
then as usual (it will take a while)
make
and
sudo make install
At the end of the process you should have QGIS and GRASS working with MrSID and ECW
raster format support.
To run QGIS just use this command
qgis
4. Building on Windows
======================
4.1. Building with Microsoft Visual Studio
==========================================
This section describes how to build QGIS using Visual Studio on Windows. This
is currently also who the binary QGIS packages are made (earlier versions used
MinGW).
This section describes the setup required to allow Visual Studio to be used to
build QGIS.
4.1.1. Visual C++ Express Edition
=================================
The free (as in free beer) Express Edition installer is available under:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/c/3/dc3439e7-5533-4f4c-9ba0-8577685b6e7e/vcsetup.exe
The optional products are not necessary. In the process the Windows SDKs for
Visual Studio 2008 will also be downloaded and installed.
You also need the Microsoft Windows Server® 2003 R2 Platform SDK (for setupapi):
http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/a/d/fad9efde-8627-4e7a-8812-c351ba099151/PSDK-x86.exe
You only need Microsoft Windows Core SDK / Build Environment (x86 32-Bit).
4.1.2. Other tools and dependencies
===================================
Download and install following packages:
|| Tool | Website |
| CMake | http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.4-win32-x86.exe |
| Flex | http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/flex.php |
| Bison | http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/bison.php |
| SVN | http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/files/1.6.13/Setup-Subversion-1.6.13.msi/download |
| or GIT | http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/Git-1.7.4-preview20110204.exe |
| OSGeo4W | http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe |
OSGeo4W does not only provide ready packages for the current QGIS release and
nightly builds of the trunk, but also offers most of the dependencies needs to
build it.
For the QGIS build you need to install following packages from OSGeo4W (select
Advanced Installation):
- expat
- fcgi
- gdal17
- grass
- gsl-devel
- iconv
- pyqt4
- qt4-devel
- qwt5-devel-qt4
- sip
This will also select packages the above packages depend on.
Additionally QGIS also needs the include file unistd.h, which normally
doesn't exist on Windows. It's shipped with Flex/Bison in GnuWin32\include
and needs to be copied into the VC\include directory of your Visual C++
installation.
Earlier versions of this document also covered how to build all above
dependencies. If you're interested in that, check the history of this page in the Wiki
or the SVN repository.
4.1.3. Setting up the Visual Studio project with CMake
======================================================
To start a command prompt with an environment that both has the VC++ and the OSGeo4W
variables create the following batch file (assuming the above packages were
installed in the default locations):
@echo off
path %SYSTEMROOT%\system32;%SYSTEMROOT%;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Wbem;%PROGRAMFILES%\CMake 2.8\bin;%PROGRAMFILES%\subversion\bin;%PROGRAMFILES%\GnuWin32\bin
set PYTHONPATH=
set VS90COMNTOOLS=%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\
call "%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\include
set LIB=%LIB%;%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\lib
set OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\OSGeo4W
call "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\o4w_env.bat"
@set GRASS_PREFIX=c:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.4.0
@set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\include
@set LIB=%LIB%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\lib;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\lib
@cmd
Start the batch file and on the command prompt checkout the QGIS source from
svn to the source directory qgis-trunk:
svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/trunk/qgis qgis-trunk
or using git-svn (from the git shell):
git svn clone --username $USER --revision 15611:HEAD https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/trunk/qgis
Create a 'build' directory somewhere. This will be where all the build output
will be generated.
Now run cmake-gui and in the Where is the source code: box, browse to
the top level QGIS directory.
In the Where to build the binaries: box, browse to the 'build' directory you
created.
Adjust the path to bison and flex so that the shortened C:/Progra~1 is used
rather than C:/Program Files.
Verify that the 'BINDINGS_GLOBAL_INSTALL' option is not checked, so that python
bindings are placed into the output directory when you run the INSTALL target.
Hit Configure to start the configuration and select Visual Studio 9 2008
and keep native compilers and click Finish.
The configuration should complete without any further questions and allow you to
click Generate.
Now close cmake-gui and continue on the command prompt by starting
vcexpress. Use File / Open / Project/Solutions and open the
qgis-x.y.z.sln File in your project directory.
Change Solution Configuration from Debug to RelWithDebInfo (Release
with Debug Info) or Release before you build QGIS using the ALL_BUILD
target (otherwise you need debug libraries that are not included).
After the build completed you should install QGIS using the INSTALL target.
Install QGIS by building the INSTALL project. By default this will install to
c:\Program Files\qgis<version> (this can be changed by changing the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable in cmake-gui).
You will also either need to add all the dependency DLLs to the QGIS install
directory or add their respective directories to your PATH.
4.1.4. Packaging
================
To create a windows 'all in one' standalone package under ubuntu (yes you
read correctly) do the following:
sudo apt-get install nsis
Now
cd qgis/ms-windows/osgeo4w
And run the nsis creation script:
creatensis.pl
When the script completes, it should have created a QGIS installer executable
in the ms-windows directory (using the QGIS binaries from OSGEO4W).
4.1.5. Packaging your own build of QGIS
=======================================
Assuming you have completed the above packaging step, if you want to include
your own hand built QGIS executables, you need to copy them in from your
windows installation into the ms-windows file tree created by the creatensis
script.
cd ms-windows/
rm -rf osgeo4w/unpacked/apps/qgis/*
cp -r /tmp/qgis1.7.0/* osgeo4w/unpacked/apps/qgis/
Now create a package.
./quickpackage.sh
After this you should now have a nsis installer containing your own build
of QGIS and all dependencies needed to run it on a windows machine.
4.1.6. Osgeo4w packaging
========================
The actual packaging process is currently not documented, for now please take a
look at:
ms-windows/osgeo4w/package.cmd
4.2. Building using MinGW
=========================
Note: This section might be outdated as nowadays Visual C++ is use to build
the "official" packages.
Note: For a detailed account of building all the dependencies yourself you
can visit Marco Pasetti's website here:
http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/qgis+grass/BuildFromSource.html
Read on to use the simplified approach with pre-built libraries...
4.2.1. MSYS
===========
MSYS provides a unix style build environment under windows. We have created a
zip archive that contains just about all dependencies.
Get this:
http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/win32/msys.zip
and unpack to c:\msys
If you wish to prepare your msys environment yourself rather than using
our pre-made one, detailed instructions are provided elsewhere in this
document.
4.2.2. Qt
=========
Download Qt opensource precompiled edition exe and install (including the
download and install of mingw) from here:
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/
When the installer will ask for MinGW, you don't need to download and install
it, just point the installer to c:\msys\mingw
When Qt installation is complete:
Edit C:\Qt\4.7.0\bin\qtvars.bat and add the following lines:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\msys\local\bin;c:\msys\local\lib
set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin"
I suggest you also add C:\Qt\4.7.0\bin\ to your Environment Variables Path in
the windows system preferences.
If you plan to do some debugging, you'll need to compile debug version of Qt:
C:\Qt\4.7.0\bin\qtvars.bat compile_debug
Note: there is a problem when compiling debug version of Qt 4.7, the script ends with
this message "mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target `debug'. Stop.". To
compile the debug version you have to go out of src directory and execute the
following command:
c:\Qt\4.7.0 make
4.2.3. Flex and Bison
=====================
Get Flex
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=16424
(the zip bin) and extract it into c:\msys\mingw\bin
4.2.4. Python stuff (optional)
==============================
Follow this section in case you would like to use Python bindings for QGIS. To
be able to compile bindings, you need to compile SIP and PyQt4 from sources as
their installer doesn't include some development files which are necessary.
4.2.4.1. Download and install Python - use Windows installer
============================================================
(It doesn't matter to what folder you'll install it)
http://python.org/download/
4.2.4.2. Download SIP and PyQt4 sources
=======================================
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download
Extract each of the above zip files in a temporary directory. Make sure
to get versions that match your current Qt installed version.
4.2.4.3. Compile SIP
====================
c:\Qt\4.7.0\bin\qtvars.bat
python configure.py -p win32-g++
make
make install
4.2.4.4. Compile PyQt
=====================
c:\Qt\4.7.0\bin\qtvars.bat
python configure.py
make
make install
4.2.4.5. Final python notes
===========================
/!\ You can delete the directories with unpacked SIP and PyQt4 sources after a
successfull install, they're not needed anymore.
4.2.5. Subversion
=================
In order to check out QGIS sources from the repository, you need Subversion
client. This installer should work fine:
http://www.sliksvn.com/pub/Slik-Subversion-1.6.13-win32.msi
4.2.6. CMake
============
CMake is build system used by Quantum GIS. Download it from here:
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.2-win32-x86.exe
4.2.7. QGIS
===========
Start a cmd.exe window ( Start -> Run -> cmd.exe ) Create development
directory and move into it
md c:\dev\cpp
cd c:\dev\cpp
Check out sources from SVN:
For svn trunk:
svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/trunk/qgis
For svn 1.5 branch
svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/branches/Release-1_5_0 qgis1.5.0
4.2.8. Compiling
================
As a background read the generic building with CMake notes at the end of
this document.
Start a cmd.exe window ( Start -> Run -> cmd.exe ) if you don't have one
already. Add paths to compiler and our MSYS environment:
c:\Qt\4.7.0\bin\qtvars.bat
For ease of use add c:\Qt\4.7.0\bin\ to your system path in system
properties so you can just type qtvars.bat when you open the cmd console.
Create build directory and set it as current directory:
cd c:\dev\cpp\qgis
md build
cd build
4.2.9. Configuration
====================
cmakesetup ..
Note: You must include the '..' above.
Click 'Configure' button. When asked, you should choose 'MinGW Makefiles' as
generator.
There's a problem with MinGW Makefiles on Win2K. If you're compiling on this
platform, use 'MSYS Makefiles' generator instead.
All dependencies should be picked up automatically, if you have set up the
Paths correctly. The only thing you need to change is the installation
destination (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) and/or set 'Debug'.
For compatibility with NSIS packaging scripts I recommend to leave the install
prefix to its default c:\program files\
When configuration is done, click 'OK' to exit the setup utility.
4.2.10. Compilation and installation
====================================
make make install
4.2.11. Run qgis.exe from the directory where it's installed (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)
===================================================================================
Make sure to copy all .dll:s needed to the same directory as the qgis.exe
binary is installed to, if not already done so, otherwise QGIS will complain
about missing libraries when started.
A possibility is to run qgis.exe when your path contains c:\msys\local\bin and
c:\msys\local\lib directories, so the DLLs will be used from that place.
4.2.12. Create the installation package: (optional)
===================================================
Download and install NSIS from (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page)
Now using windows explorer, enter the win_build directory in your QGIS source
tree. Read the READMEfile there and follow the instructions. Next right click
on qgis.nsi and choose the option 'Compile NSIS Script'.
4.3. Creation of MSYS environment for compilation of Quantum GIS
================================================================
4.3.1. Initial setup
====================
4.3.1.1. MSYS
=============
This is the environment that supplies many utilities from UNIX world in Windows and is needed
by many dependencies to be able to compile.
Download from here:
http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe
Install to c:\msys
All stuff we're going to compile is going to get to this directory (resp. its subdirs).
4.3.1.2. MinGW
==============
Download from here:
http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/MinGW-5.1.3.exe
Install to c:\msys\mingw
It suffices to download and install only g++ and mingw-make components.
4.3.1.3. Flex and Bison
=======================
Flex and Bison are tools for generation of parsers, they're needed for GRASS and also QGIS compilation.
Download the following packages:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/flex-bin-zip.php
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/bison-bin-zip.php
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/bison-dep-zip.php
Unpack them all to c:\msys\local
4.3.2. Installing dependencies
