Remarks for those brave and foolish enough to try and build in MSYS2 environment

Building in MSYS2 is currently not officially supported. Please do not open issues if it does not work. Creating a redistributable package is a task on its own.

Use UCRT64 environment

It will give you the sanest results overall. CLANG64 also should work.

Install everything but stuff like git with the environment-specific prefix. This includes meson and python!

Required packages

This list may be out-of-date since I'll probably forget about it by the time I'll decide to add a new dependency

git
${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-desktop-file-utils
${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-gtk4
${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-libadwaita
${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-libgusb
${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-meson
${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-toolchain
${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-vala

Set environment variable PYTHONUTF8=1

Otherwise, blueprint-compiler will fail with UnicodeDecodeError.
