It does, but the list of dependent packages may be incomplete. Report a bug to the MSYS2 github page: https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages Please note that the `emacs` package is a MSYS2 package, i.e. it runs on top of the POSIX emulation layer provided by the MSYS2 runtime, which implies that Emacs works as if running on a POSIX (Unix-like) system. > While I was checking the page, > https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html, which includes command to > install emacs > > $pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-emacs This package is based on the MinGW-w64 runtime, which means that there is no emulation layer involved.
