Using MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit terminal on VSCode

Question

There's a lot of tutorials about how to using MSYS2 terminal on VSCode. But we know there are 3 shells:

• MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit
• MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit
• MSYS2 MSYS

But if I set "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" to "C:\\msys64\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe", I can only use MSYS2 MSYS. I want to use MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit because I don't want my programs required msys-2.0.dll

Can somebody teach me how to do that?

Answer 1

This work for me:

{
     "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\msys64\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe", 
     "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": ["--login", "-i"],
     "terminal.integrated.env.windows": { 
          "MSYSTEM": "MINGW64", 
          "CHERE_INVOKING":"1" } 
}

Pls. refer to: How do I integrate MSYS2 shell into Visual studio code on Window?
