Installing GConf on MSYS2

Question

I try to build some project with MSYS2/MinGW64. configure fails with:

checking for gconftool-2... no
configure: error: gconftool-2 executable not found in your path - should be installed with GConf

I have found no prebuild distributive at the home page.

I have tried to guess a package name for pacman:

gconf
gconf2
gconf-devel
mingw-w64-x86_64-gconf

and so on. No success.

Also I have not found GConf package in msys2 package list.

Should I build GConf from sources or is there other way to get it?

Answer 1

I could not find gconf in the MINGW-packages repository so we do not have a recipe for building it from source. You might consider developing such a recipe. If it works for you, you could submit a pull request and maybe the MSYS2 maintainers will accept it and build it.
