I think that providing bare Emacs binaries without the corresponding
dll's is not really user friendly. I build Emacs on my Win 64bit
machine with Msys2/MinGW-w64 and it would be pain if I had to collect all
dll's myself somehow. OTOH, collecting and providing all the sources
along with the dll's is also not fun. Can there be a compromise? For
Msys2/MinGW-w64, all PKGBUILD files contain references the sources, e.g.:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-libidn/PKGBUILD
So one could say: Consult the PKGBUILD files for the sources
(incl. dependencies) for
- mingw-w64-libtiff
- mingw-w64-giflib
- mingw-w64-libpng
- mingw-w64-libjpeg-turbo
- mingw-w64-librsvg
- mingw-w64-libxml2
- mingw-w64-gnutls
- mingw-w64-xpm-nox
Best, Arash
