To recolve the issue, it is usually a matter of identifying the appropriate packages still mainained at https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/mingw32 and pulling them ourselves.

Note: At the pause, I apply updates within the gnucash-on-windows.git folder that I find appropriate. >> >> Regards, >> >> Sherlock >> >> >> On 8/8/26 3:06 AM, Neil Aggarwal wrote: >>> Hello all: >>> I am following this guide: >>> https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_on_Windows >>> Everything seems to go fine until I ran this command: >>> jhbuild -f src/gnucash-on-windows.git/jhbuildrc build >>> It gives me this output: >>> Required packages: >>> System installed packages which are too old: >>> (none) >>> No matching system package installed: >>> boost >>> cmake >>> ninja >>> jhbuild build: Required system dependencies not installed.
