Re: [Gimp-developer] Windows builds using MSYS2

[Petteri Soininen <pesoini gmail com>]

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)
