Normally you just have to install mingw to c:\mingw, then add c:\mingw\bin to Windows´s PATH variable. that´s all. no msys or fiddeling around in eclipse needed

If "MinGw GCC" toolchain is not shown in the toolchain selection, just uncheck the checkbox "Show project types and toolchains only if they are supported on the plattform" to make it show up
