Installation doesn't alter system settings; in particular it doesn't change environment variables like PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR.
For MSYS or Cygwin, also read how to switch to the toolchain you want.
The 64 bits toolchain requires a 64 bits host.
Installing on Windows XP or 2003 might work but is unsupported.
