Re: DXVK 1.5: Need to use the mingw compiler, anyone?

[Pierre Neidhardt]

DXVK 1.6 does not seem to build with Winelib anymore and upstream has
deprecated Winelib for a while.

I'm trying to compile dxvk with mingw instead.

How do I use mingw to build a package (dxvk uses meson)?

Can I use the #:system argument?  Otherwise I could add mingw as input
like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(make-mingw-w64 "x86_64"
 #:xgcc (cross-gcc "x86_64-linux-gnu")
 #:xbinutils (cross-binutils "x86_64-linux-gnu")
 #:with-winpthreads? #t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

or, for the 32-bit build (dxvk needs both)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(make-mingw-w64 "i686"
 #:xgcc (cross-gcc "i686-linux-gnu")
 #:xbinutils (cross-binutils "i686-linux-gnu")
 #:with-winpthreads? #t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I can't seem to be able to build the mingw compiler though.
The following fails on master

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./guix/pre-inst-env guix build -e '((@@ (gnu packages mingw) make-mingw-w64) 
"i686" #:xgcc ((@@ (gnu packages cross-base) cross-gcc) "i686-linux-gnu") 
#:xbinutils ((@@ (gnu packages cross-base) cross-binutils) "i686-linux-gnu") 
#:with-winpthreads? #t)'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

with

Any idea?
