The purpose of MSYS is to support the general *nix procedure:
  ./configure && make && make install

I know you can build wxWidgets because I've done it often.
That library provides specific instructions for MSYS; for
wx-2.8.6, they're in the distribution here:

  wxWidgets-2.8.6/docs/msw/install.txt

If you encounter problems, say specifically what you did,
and copy and paste relevant error messages verbatim.
