Yes, msys2 is windows based. There are attempts to run msys2 in wine but I don't know if those are fully in usable state. AFAIK, the GitLab CI uses Windows...

> You will have to build additional libraries from AUR though. There are unofficial repositories like this one https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs/. With that, one does not have to cross compile mingw-w64 packages...

The source code is 270MB, who will build this giant?

Working here. ``` $ python Python 3.9.9 (main, Dec 28 2021, 11:05:23) [GCC 11.2.0] on cygwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> exit() ``` Just a...

May I ask why this change is required? Or what is missing/disabled in current configuration? Some GNU/Linux distributions do include those dependencies. * Arch: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/sdl2_mixer/ * Ubuntu: https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0

> Linux distributions tend to avoid embedded libraries in favor of shared libraries to prevent mass-rebuilds of affected packages in case of security issues. That looks a valid reason to...

Rebuilding a tiny < 1 MB package is not a big deal. package-grokker in CI already handles those. SDL2_mixer was rebuilt with other bigger packages also. For example, * Rebuilds...

You have to manually download the package and install it with `pacman -U` command. Packages can be found here https://mirror.msys2.org/mingw/

Can you reproduce the issue with latest GCC toolchain 12.1.0?

In msys2 x86_64, I have tested the neovim [PKGBUILD][1] file from Arch Linux repository. There are some missing dependencies shown with `makepkg -seoc` command. Should those also be added first?...
