Does anyone have any information about what may be causing this error please? Keen to complete the build for Windows so I can test out Pan.

Hey Tom,

Yep, using MINGW64 through MSYS64 which is how I installed all the dependencies.
I did follow the standard build instructions from the readme, this is entirely new to me so wouldn't have known how to get this far without it.

Cheers,

Nath

I *thought* that had been fixed as I did a bit of fiddling to make the
build work under msys64 (which I presume you're using - there's a readme
file for building for windows in the source which I guess you've
followed?). I'll see if I can spot anything obvious.

*sigh* I hacked panrc.rc to make the FILEINFO and PRODUCTVERSION lines to both use 0,161,0,0 rather than the variables (not sure where they went), and now it fails unable to find __imp_gethostbyname.  that sounds like I need to update my msys2 version - will report back later
