I have a build working from latest master with Msys2, and I'm in progress of making notes to how to do it. Still haven't got python working ok as running Gimp gives me "Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory)" errors on every py script when launching, but I'll post my notes so far..

Hopefully that helps.
(and I'm using WIn10, 64bit)

Hi,

I've also been working on building Gimp for Windows simply because for one 
reason or another I have Windows on my main, faster machine, and I've wanted to 
get some of the latest bug fixes. I also wanted to fix - 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757717

I tried the Linux cross compile using the wiki Mingw64 instructions. I was 
trying to retrieve the prebuilt library RPM's from, I think it's OpenSUSE, but 
that seems to be outdated. Now I have Code::Blocks setup to cross compile with 
MinGW-w64, I’ll try building those dependencies.

I'm investigating MSYS2. It looks like a good project and a lot of other 
projects seem to use it to provide releases for Windows, but its a slow to 
compile even with multiple threads set.  Some of those projects may use Python 
so they might be able to help with Python for Gimp.

I attach my current "autogen" and "make" outputs. I am building with most 
extras disabled as I just want to iron out the build process first.

Are you building from the main branch ?

Do you get a successful build with Python disabled ?

Cheers.
