A simpler approach (if you don't mind having a whole other copy of
msys2) is to just install a new copy of msys2 from the base archive,
do the initial update as usual, and install all of the dependencies
you might need to build the packages you want. Then just do
find /mingw64/lib -name "*.dll.a" -exec rm {} \;
to make your mingw64 build tree purely static. (This obviously means
you shouldn't use this tree for anything other than making static
builds - but that's why you need a separate installation for this
method).
Now just get the build directory you want from
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages, and run
MINGW_INSTALLS=mingw64 makepkg-mingw
(I guess you can build for 32-bit as well if you want, if you strip
the .dll.a files from /mingw32, but I haven't tried this).
Don't add -s to the makepkg-mingw command, as that'll download dynamic
link libraries. Instead, if you did miss a dependency, stop and
install it manually and then strip any new .dll.a files before
rerunning makepkg-mingw.
I've only tried this on libarchive so far, and it seems to work as
expected. One odd thing is that it doesn't build or install the
internationalised messages. I don't know if that's something odd with
libintl, but in actual fact for my needs, omitting the message files
is a bonus rather than a problem (I only want English messages, and
fewer files to deploy fits my needs in this case). So although I'll
probably dig around to see if I can work out why this happens, it's
not a high priority for me.
Anyway, I hope this is of some use to people, even if just as an
alternative to the approach Ray described.
Thanks again for all the help.
