Bob, Thanks for the recap. Can I entice you into putting your patches into a PR?
The MSYS2 package archive lives at https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/mingw32/. It does have postgresql and xmlsec. It doesn’t have mariadbclient but does have mysqlclient but it’s not an active package. The other two are: https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-postgresql https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-xmlsec I guess we need to add a module for mariadbclient and that it’s time for another round of banging my head against the webkit-on-windows wall.
