The following experimental updates are not available from Cygwin, but from my personal website https://qemu.weilnetz.de/test/cygwin/local/:
mingw64-x86_64-icu 64.2 mingw64-i686-icu 64.2 I tested the binary packages using a short test program (https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/issues/1625#issuecomment-395166694). Maybe someone else has other tests and wants to try the new packages. Both packages are currently unmaintained in Cygwin (old version 57.1, broken mingw64-x86_64-icu). See issue https://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-icu/issues/1 and pull request https://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-icu/pull/2. See also https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2018-10/msg00209.html and https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-06/msg00222.html. I need those packages to build Tesseract for Windows. I would also like to contribute packages for Leptonica (also needed for Tesseract): mingw64-x86_64-leptonica and mingw64-i686-leptonica. Building such packages is easy, but how can I can get them into the official package distribution?
