Angband 4.2.4 Windows SDL2 Build Issue

[docrobot]

Not even sure if this is the right place for it, but here goes. I'm attempting a MSYS2 compile of Angband (version 4.2.4, from the source tarball) for Windows using SDL2, as per the steps in the compiling instructions guide, and it appears to be failing during linking with...

$ make -f Makefile.msys2.sdl2 -j9
      LINK angband
D:/msys64/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/11.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lbrotlidec-static: No such file or directory
D:/msys64/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/11.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lbrotlicommon-static: No such file or directory
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile.msys2.sdl2:109: angband] Error 1

The output of a 'pacman -Ss brotli' yields...

Am I overlooking something really simple here? Thanks to anyone who takes the time to drop in.

I'm not an SDL2 expert at all, but if it were me I'd start by removing the

	-lbrotlidec-static \
	-lbrotlicommon-static \

lines from Makefile.msys2.sdl2 and see what broke next.

I suspect the real problem is that SDL2 is a bit of a moving target; that quantity of library dependencies scares me.

Removing both of those makes linking less actual linking and something more akin to projectile vomiting.

Not the first time I've given bad advice

I guess then I'd go the other way and try installing brotlidec and brotlicommon in the hope that they're not covered by brotli. Caveat - my entire knowledge of any brotli* comes from this thread.

Edit: No dice. This, at first, appeared to be an issue with brotli changing its naming convention. This is a little deeper than that upon further inspection. I'm thinking I'm just tired and overlooking something simple, but I'm at a loss at to what that might be.
