 I had a similar build failure on MacOS a few hours ago and pushed https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/24d4576617995980c147bb49cacafe6f16978573 to fix it. Did your build have that commit?

Regards,
John Ralls

When I do a pkg-config, it finds the version 61 one.  I suspect this might be related to my problem, but I'm not experienced enough as a programmer to figure out how to solve it.

This was not available in pacman anymore, so I ended up modifying setup-mingw64.ps1 to add this to the install and re-ran it and it appears to have installed correctly.
