Description

There are many issues about building the MySQL client library on MSYS2
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues?q=mysql

libmariadbclient is about to become independent from MySQL, with only one final step remaining. Currently, it is possible to connect to MySQL via libmariadbclient, but once it becomes fully independent, connecting to MySQL will become very difficult. Please provide official support for building MINGW packages under MSYS2 to help enable applications to connect to MySQL.
