Not sure what you want but if you just want to get wxWidgets built
using mingw then you don't need to take the MSYS route. Just cd to
build/msw and issue make -f makefile.gcc <param> where params could be
UNICODE=1 etc.

I regularly build like this and use it with Eclipse and CodeBlocks.
NetBeans's makefile is unixy so msys is required.
