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

See here. The README files from the source tree are very outdated.

If you managed to build all dependencies in MSYS, please share some
notes about the process, and what versions of libraries you used.
