MSYS2 periodically updates one of the webkit dependencies and I have to build another one, a process that can take several days. Another wrinkle is that Derek's windows VM and my windows VM sometimes diverge. Getting them back is another manual process that I have to make time to do carefully so as not to break the nightly builds; keeping those working is the top priority for gnucash-on-windows. With a new installation you're likely out of sync with both of those reference MSYS2 installations. Having a mismatch will cause link errors with libgnc-html.dll.

For what it may be worth, I have been successful building and packaging GnuCash 5.4 on Windows 10 with mingw-w64-i686-webkitgtk3-2.4.11-999.5-any in a recent (2023-07-18) MSYS2 MINGW32 environment. 

1. Missing gcrypt

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-libgcrypt --noconfirm --needed


2. Missing xmlsec1

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-xmlsec --noconfirm --needed


3. Install the latest mingw-w64-i686-webkitgtk3 and the versions of it's dependencies:

cd /c/gcdev64/msys2/var/cache/pacman/pkg/
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnucash/Dependencies/jralls_public_signing_key.asc
pacman-key --add jralls_public_signing_key.asc
pacman-key --lsign C1F4DE993CF5835F
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/Dependencies/mingw-w64-i686-webkitgtk3-2.4.11-999.5-any.pkg.tar.zst
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/Dependencies/mingw-w64-i686-webkitgtk3-2.4.11-999.5-any.pkg.tar.zst.sig
pacman -U https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/Dependencies/mingw-w64-i686-webkitgtk3-2.4.11-999.5-any.pkg.tar.zst --noconfirm --needed
wget https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-icu-69.1-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
wget https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-gcc-libs-12.2.0-10-any.pkg.tar.zst
cd /c/gcdev64/msys2
zstdcat /c/gcdev64/msys2/var/cache/pacman/pkg/mingw-w64-i686-icu-69.1-1-any.pkg.tar.zst | tar xf - mingw32/bin/libicudt69.dll mingw32/bin/libicuin69.dll mingw32/bin/libicuuc69.dll
zstdcat /c/gcdev64/msys2/var/cache/pacman/pkg/mingw-w64-i686-gcc-libs-12.2.0-10-any.pkg.tar.zst | tar xf - mingw32/bin/libssp-0.dll

In addition to including these dependencies in the build environment, I found it necessary to apply the manifest patch and a rename patch to jhbuild. as well as a packaging patch.
