mingw now comes with a simple installer. just download 'MinGW-5.1.6.exe'
and start it. then select the packages to install (see my
'installed.ini' file).

[mingw-installer on top]

i still use msys 1.0.11 here. a newer version can be found in the file
section of the upper link (but looks like sources only).
anyhow, installation should be no problem for you.

best wishes
