Instructions for msys2/mingw64


See https://www.mingw-w64.org/
    https://www.msys2.org/

Install msys2 as per instructions. You will also need to install
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-pcre mingw-w64-x86_64-gmime gspell

To run wininstall, you will also need mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pip

Also for the sake of your own sanity, add 'export MSYS=winsymlinks:native' to your .bash_profile

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtkspell3

You also need some dictionaries to spell check against!
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-hunspell-en

and this (possibly optional, but...)
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-iso-codes

Then you can create an msys2 x64 window and build with cmake as per README.org instructions.

NOTE: enchant is somewhat broken under mingw64 and cannot find the appropriate libraries as it appears to expect to find at least 'lib/enchant-2' in the the same directory as the executable. You might want to create a soft link or copy. If you run wininstall, it copies the appropriate directories to the same place as the executable, and works fine. Go figure.

Haven't tried these yet (these are the automake switches so not quite cmake):

1. --with-dbus

2. libnotify: autogen with --enable-libnotify
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libnotify

3. --with-yelp-tools --enable-manual for user manual (can build but have no idea how to install)
$ pacman -S yelp-tools

4. --enable-gkr for gnome keyring (gtk2 and 3 different for this, not sure if this is necessary)

5. --with-gnutls

5. --with-webkit

and `make`.

If you want a windows theme in gtk3, run
```
mkdir ./etc/gtk-3.0
cat > ./etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=win32
<ctrl-d>

If you want other themes, you can install them in share/themes in the target directory.
