 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:

 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

+{{{
+sh: cmake: command not found

+If you get this error, CMake is not installed properly or it is not added to the environment variable PATH. Please refer to [wiki:WindowsMinGW/current#CMake the guide] for an explanation.

 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

 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.
 
+==== Note ====
+Note that if you're using a sane installation of MinGW and the other tools (as explained in [wiki:WindowsMinGW/current the guide]), you should be able to use {{{cmake}}}, {{{gcc}}}, and {{{g++}}}. You can check this in the MSYS console:
+{{{
+$ cmake --version
+cmake version 2.8.2
+
+$ gcc --version
+gcc.exe (GCC) 4.5.0
+
+$ g++ --version
+g++.exe (GCC) 4.5.0
+}}}
+The actual output may differ, but you shouldn't get any errors.
