Install msys2
Start mingw64_shell.bat
In the shell install the dependencies with pacman with following command: pacman -S [packagename]

The package names are: (shared build – for development)

qt5: mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5
boost: mingw-w64-x86_64-boost
google snappy: mingw-w64-x86_64-snappy

If the package names have changed, you can always look for the correct package name with pacman -Ss [substring], e.g. pacman -Ss qt5

quazip and PythonQt: download and install the x86_64 versions of the unnofficial packages with pacman -U [packagename]
