+
+=== Q: My MSYS window is black / can't be resized to fullscreen ===
+
+A: You're using the wrong shortcut to open MSYS. See the note at the bottom of [wiki:WindowsMinGW/current#MSYS the "MSYS" section in the installation guide].
+
+=== Q: When I use the "cm" (or "cmake") command, I get an error ===
+
+There are multiple errors with multiple reasons. Sometimes this can be solved by closing (all instances of) MSYS and/or rebooting Windows. If this doesn't help, compare your error message to the examples below:
+
+A1. "cm" alias is not defined:
+{{{
+sh: cm: command not found
+}}}
+If your error looks like this, you have to define the "cm" alias as explained here: [wiki:WindowsMinGW/current#BuildOrxonox].
+
+A2: MinGW not installed properly / MSYS not correctly configured
+{{{
+$ cm
+-- The C compiler identification is unknown
+-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
+-- Check for working C compiler: /mingw/bin/gcc.exe
+-- Check for working C compiler: /mingw/bin/gcc.exe -- broken
+CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:52 (MESSAGE):
+  The C compiler "/mingw/bin/gcc.exe" is not able to compile a simple test
+  program.
+
+...
+}}}
+If CMake prints an error like this (and about 30 more lines), the GCC compiler was not found. Make sure you installed MinGW and MSYS properly by following [wiki:WindowsMinGW/current the guide]. You can also open the file {{{c:\<msys-install-path>\etc\fstab}}} with a text-editor (WordPad, Notepad) and check if the path to MinGW is configured correctly (default is {{{c:/mingw /mingw}}}).
+
+A3: g++ is not installed
+{{{
+$ cm
+-- The C compiler identification is GNU
+-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
+-- Check for working C compiler: C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe
+-- Check for working C compiler: C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe -- works
+-- Detecting C compiler ABI info
+-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done
+-- Check for working CXX compiler: g++.exe
+CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/Platform/Windows-g++.cmake:1 (INCLUDE):

+...
+}}}
+If CMake prints an error like this (and about 20 more lines), you probably missed to install g++ with MinGW. Please refer to [wiki:WindowsMinGW/current#MinGW the installation guide] and ensure you selected "C++ Compiler" in the installation menu of MinGW.
