It may be possible to build liblzma with other toolchains too, but
that will probably require writing a separate makefile. Building
the command line tools with non-GNU toolchains will be harder than
building only liblzma.
Even if liblzma is built with MinGW, the resulting DLL or static
library can be used by other compilers and linkers, including MSVC.
Thus, it shouldn't be a problem to use MinGW to build liblzma even
if you cannot use MinGW to build the rest of your project. See
Starting with XZ Utils 5.2.0, building liblzma (not the whole
XZ Utils) should work with MSVC 2013 update 2 or later using
windows/config.h. No project files or makefiles are included yet,
so the build process isn't as convenient yet as it could be.
Even if liblzma is built with MinGW(-w64), the resulting DLL can
be used by other compilers and linkers, including MSVC. See
windows/README-Windows.txt for details.

Some of the following is needed:
- MSYS is always needed to use the GNU Autotools based build system.
- MinGW builds 32-bit x86 binaries.
- MingW-w32 builds 32-bit x86 executables too.
- 32-bit MinGW-w64 (I call it MingW-w32 here) builds 32-bit x86
executables too.
- MinGW-w64 builds 64-bit x86-64 binaries.
So you need to pick between MinGW and MinGW-w32 when building
32-bit version. You don't need both.

You can download MSYS from MinGW's Sourceforge page:

It's under "MSYS Base System". I recommend using MSYS 1.0.11
(MSYS-1.0.11.exe or msysCORE-1.0.11-bin.tar.gz) because that
package includes all the required tools. At least some of the
later versions include only a subset and thus you would need to
download the rest separately. The old version will work fine for
building XZ Utils.

I don't know what is the most recommended one. I used sezero's
versions from "Personal Builds", since they seemed to have
a stable GCC (judging from the GCC version number only).

extract them into different directories.
If you install both MinGW-w32 and MinGW-w64, remember to extract

C:\devel\tools\mingw-w32 and C:\devel\tools\mingw-w64 by default.
