Title: Anyone want Code::Blocks for MSys2 in the CygWin like environment?

Anyone want Code::Blocks for MSys2 in the Cygwin like environment?

I am getting wxWidgets gtk3 past 90% building right now. I hope to get 100% built today or tomorrow.

It built 100% but it failed to work. Looks like the gtk3 I built is broken.

But I am not sure if I wish to build Code::Blocks directly because I see no need to me.

I do not use environments like Cygwin very often.
You mean wxWidgets build against gtk3 under Windows OS?
What is the advantage of using such library under Windows compared with the native wxWidgets MSW?

I know of none; I started trying years ago just to test weird edit issues in C::B to verify I did not break the build for Linux.

Since, wx does build maybe I will see if C::B will build using it; since the gtk3 I built has run-time issues I see no need to think C::B will run.

I am making several custom MSys2 Cygwin like packages I and I thought could I build gtk3 and I succeeded so I decided to do wxWidget before testing the gtk3.
