Обсуждение: Dead link to MinGW in Windows documentation
Aforementioned link is to a domain squatter.
Perhaps MSYS2 could be used instead? https://packages.msys2.org/base
Which is used for the official builds on EnterpriseDB?

Note that there are two references to mingw.org -- also one in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/installation-platform-notes.html as well. They should both be fixed. -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com
If one is to recommend MSYS2, after downloading and installing it, the command to install bison and flex is just:
Then the bins end up (by default) in C:\MSYS64\usr\binpacman -S flex bison

Note that there are two references to mingw.org -- also one in
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/installation-platform-notes.html as
well. They should both be fixed.
