[Github-comments] [geany/geany] libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll not found (#976)

[Enrico Tröger]

We could do that.
I personally doubt it is worth the hassle, one has to find the correct set of non-GTK dependencies and keep them up2date across releases and MSYS2 updates.

So we would support the case where (power) Windows users can install a precompiled Geany from the installer with some dependency libraries, in an arbitary version, but without a GTK runtime environment. Those users would have to provide the GTK runtime themselves, and are to ensure this GTK runtime is compatible with the installer provided C runtime libraries and whatever else might be necessary.
To be honest, I doubt this is useful for anyone.

Since we have instructions in the wiki, it should be reasonable easy for such users to compile Geany from source completely using MSYS2.
