Most definitely. I use gcc 4.8.1 targeted for x86_64. I build all dependencies (that I need for Gimp). I will put up all my notes on my website www.partha.com since it would be too long for the mailing list.
Right now, my build looks like this: http://www.partha.com/temp/inkscape-issues.png
I am assuming there is no 64-bit windows builds?
Anyway, any clues on the reason for the mangled paths and icon issues?
Thanks again, Partha

Sure. as I stated above, my build environment is mingw-gcc and I use
msys as
the backend if you will. All my libraries are built within this
environment.
BTW, make install also does not put share correctly even if you manually specify the datadir.
I am surprised by these strange paths as well. I don't have this issue
with
Gimp for example which I also build.
I have never heard of btool till today.
See here. The README files from the source tree are very outdated. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows
If you managed to build all dependencies in MSYS, please share some notes about the process, and what versions of libraries you used.
