About using msys2 binaries instead of pygobject-win32: I'm running meld checkout with mingw64 for several months by now. It contains newer gtk and so shortcuts problems with non-english keyboards https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/issues/129 is solved (which is great!)
But unfortunately it has a huge problem: nearly 1 of 10 invocations hangs on startup. This is very annoying. I just reported and crosslinked this as https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/3510 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/issues/174 Apart from this I had several crashes, but they are extremely rare (1 per month with intensive every-day use, like 1 from 1000 usages leads to crash). > Sorry, I accidentally replied instead of reply all. > > ---------- Forwarded message --------- > From: Keegan Witt <[email protected]> > Date: Sun, Mar 25, 2018 at 8:13 PM > Subject: Re: Update Windows binaries > To: <[email protected]> > > There's a discussion about Windows builds here: > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788570.
