This image contains everything you need to create a windows bundles from msys2

packages. It was built to help with [Pidgin3](https://pidgin.im) development

as most of use tend to use Linux and don't readily have a Windows machine

available.

This image uses

[pacman-static](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-static/) and a bunch

of helper files from [mingw64-base](http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/) to

make this all work.

It setups up a new empty root in `/windows` which can be modified using

`pacman-cross` which just runs `pacman --root /windows $@`. After installing

packages you can extract the files by any means you like from

`/windows/mingw32` or `/windows/mingw64` depending on which packages you

installed.

There is also a `makepkg-cross` that will allow you to build packages. It

requires you set the `MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX` environment variable to the

correct value. As far as I know, the only options are `mingw-w64-i686` and

`mingw-w64-x86_64`. So a simple invocation like the following from the

directory containing your `PKGBUILD` will spit out a package for you.

This image was built to be run in

[convey](https://bitbucket.org/rw_grim/convey) pipelines, but can we used

where ever.
