Hello,
I've successfully managed to build Geany on MSYS2, against both gtk2 and gtk3. I've started to describe the steps on the wiki: https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/msys2, however the page is not complete yet (but complete enough to produce a running geany).
Actually I noticed that they even have Geany PKGBUILD in their MSYS2-packages repository (https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages). I was able to build and install it in without problems. This makes setting environment for working on plugins in windows very easy.

Hey, this is cool. Now we only need to figure out how to create an installer.
Basically it is quite easy with the existing geany.nsi and the NSIS package (Nullsoft Installer).
It only requires a Geany installation and a stripped down GTK tunetime environment to be packed into the installer. What this is, is documented at http://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/build#create_a_stripped_down_gtk_runtime_.... Maybe we can adopt this to the self-compiled GTK environment.
I could work on this but would delay this a bit until past the 1.25 release. Simply to not break things before a release.
Regards, Enrico
Why do you say self-compiled GTK? It is readily packaged for msys, I think we should be able to use that.
Even geany is packaged already, which is great for plugin developers to test on Windows. It's not suitable for end-user distribution though, I'd say, therefore we still want our own installer.
Best regards.
