OK – I got base to compile. Now I’m getting some weird linker errors

Maybe you installed some extra package that is causing this? I’d try with a fresh MSYS2 installation and installing just the packages we install on CI: https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base/blob/1b7bf26beaaafb76325471780c55d36824a35889/.travis.yml#L78-L92 Also make sure you’re building from a MinGW shell, not MSYS2.
