I'm surprised you even got past the gnucash configuration step in your build. I have just gotten there and it appears there's a bug in cmake's FindGettext module. It parses the output of msgfmt --version command to extract the gettext version. However the regex it uses to parse this is not correct on Windows/MSys2. The output on linux is: msgfmt (GNU gettext-tools) 0.19.8.1 while on Windows it becomes: msgfmt.exe (GNU gettext-tools) 0.19.8.1 The regex doesn't take the optional/additional '.exe' into account and as a result will fail to set GETTEXT_VERSION_STRING I have manually added .exe in msys2\mingw32\share\cmake-3.9\Modules \FindGettext.cmake Just to try and continue the build. That works but now it fails on compiling gettext.scm. Unfortunately I'm out of time for now. So next steps would be: 1. figuring out who to contact to report the bug in FindGettext 2. make a temporary workaround for it while we wait for an official fix 3. figure out why gettext.scm fails to build.
