Can package https://github.com/jgm/pandoc to Mingw? Some softwares of Mingw need pandoc to convert markdown to man and because pandoc is unavailable in Mingw, them have to miss their man.

Thanks!

I was just asking about this. I guess it depends on the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, which apparently is complicated to port to MinGW-w64. I was referred to #6600.

ghc worked at a time but since this is a rolling release model compiler suite it somehow broke along the way :(

It would be super useful for me to have Pandoc in MSYS2.

Kreijstal commented

why is there no ghc package on mingw?

ghc was disabled in this commit 8b95a10 because it can not be built or broken.
