Hi, I need ragel for a script but it can't find it. Is there a way to make it work or download it manually?
#Cannot install ragel

velvet helm
There are native packages for ragel

There are native packages for ragel
https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-r...
i installed multiple of them and the script still says that it cant find it
this is the script im using: https://github.com/rdp/ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers

What environment are you running in? You'll need to run in one of the native environments and install the corresponding packages. https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/
Also those scripts are explicitly for cross-compiling from Linux.

im running it in the msys environment, in what environment do I need to run it?
velvet helm
Any of the others should work. If in doubt, UCRT64

okay so I switched to the mingw64 environment and I ran:
pacman -S mingw-w64-clang-i686-ragel
and I got a different message
i think I do need to run it in the msys environment
if I run it in msys I get this
omg
i hate this
Hi again, I managed to get it working, I got help from: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/8173

okay so I switched to the mingw64 environment and I ran:
```pacman -S mingw-w64-...
The mingw64 environment is not related to clang-i686 packages.

To summarize, I think you've encountered two relatively simple issues:
- we ship very few packages for the Msys environment because it's not our focus (Cygwin or WSL would be better candidates for "cross-compiling from Linux, but actually from Windows")
- we have multiple environments and sets of packages

its solved
Cheers, I hope your future experience with MSYS2 is better. :)
