Chris, Geert is right, at least for now, both because of the OpenSP failure and because the latest MSYS2 updates require a new webkit build and I haven't yet done the 64-bit one. You can't just run the 32-bit build, though, because you've installed the 64-bit dependencies. You could reinstall

Hi Chris, I don't think we support building a 64bit version on Windows. Can you run your commands in the 32bit mingw64 shell (MSys2 64bit/MSys2 MinGW 32-bit) to at least avoid any additional bugs due to the different environment ? Note the name is confusing. MingW64 is the name of the project
