Building inside msys

Is there a recommended way to enter a msys shell and build inside it? I've tried this in appveyor.yml:
  - cd C:\msys\1.0\bin\
  - sh --login -i

But it stops after the login to the shell and doesn't execute any downstream commands.

   Hi Chris,

   Look at how it's done for Julia project: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/StefanKarpinski/julia/build/1.0.639...

   Maybe you should pass a script to sh because -i means the shell is interactive.

   As Feodor pointed out, I'd recommend making a separate .sh script where you execute the commands you want to run in msys.
