No it was a good idea, I am trying to compile it right now using that way.
But, it is a bad idea in that it is very likely the crash reporting routine will crash instead of reporting a error correctly.

Found out I will need to port the console runner to MSys2; and I think that is something within my knowledge and abilities.

I have an issue getting some core plugins to link because of tinyXML link errors; but, I decided to just ignore those plugins for now.
(The Compiler Plugin compiles without any errors; and, that is the most important plugin to me.)

I am hoping the starter of this thread will do the work of porting exchndl.dll to the MSys2 environment.
If not, I plan to try my changes under CygWin64 and see if they work there.

Edit: Found this package mingw-w64-x86_64-drmingw-0.7.4-2; so, I do NOT need to worry about porting drmingw to MSys2's mingw-w64-x86_64. Note: I am NOT certain if porting is the right word; might just be a minor recompile with linking to the correct object files.
But, I am a newbie on using MSys2 and did NOT wish to do something that might be risky.

Sorry for letting this thread get old. Must admit these names mean nothing to me.
But still, I'll give it a go if it means being able to have C::B in Msys2!

It looks like a 64-bit version was compiled before?

I have compiled https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw in Msys2, which includes a exchndl DLL.

In Msys2 64-bit I did

--- Code: ---git clone https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw.git
cd drmingw/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "MSYS Makefiles"
make

--- End code ---

which produces a DLL file bin/exchndl.dll that I'm more than happy to share.

@ alle_meije:
I am building CB Under MSys2 using the DrMinGW and wxWidgets Msys2's MinGW64 packages.

Still have NOT fixed all the bugs; but, I can build CB using Configure/Make method.
I have NOT spent enough time to see if the resulting Code::Blocks is useful for doing anything.

I have changed to trying to build CB using CB Projects for now; then, I plan to merge the two methods.
After, that I plan to test the resulting binaries for usefulness.

I have NO idea what would be the proper location in MSYS2 to store the CB config file; do you have a suggestion?
