rwgrim/msys2-cross repository overview

⁠msys2-cross

This image contains everything you need to create a windows bundles from msys2 packages. It was built to help with Pidgin3⁠ development as most of use tend to use Linux and don't readily have a Windows machine available.

This image uses pacman-static⁠ and a bunch of helper files from mingw64-base⁠ to make this all work.

⁠Howto

It setups up a new empty root in /windows which can be modified using pacman-cross which just runs pacman --root /windows $@. After installing packages you can extract the files by any means you like from /windows/mingw32 or /windows/mingw64 depending on which packages you installed.

This image was built to be run in convey⁠ pipelines, but can we used where ever.
