Re: [bug-gnu-libiconv] How to build libiconv using mingw on msys from git?

Hi,

Take a look at README.woe32. It recommends to use Cygwin, *not* MSYS, as
a build environment.

You can also run ./autogen.sh and create a tarball on a Unix machine,
transfer that tarball to the Windows machine and run configure there.
This has higher chances of working than to try to do everything on the
Windows machine. Especially with a build environment that is as broken as
MSYS is.
