the coq package depends on camlp4 which is no longer maintained nor provided by msys2 anymore,
so i propose removing the ocaml packages alltogether since only a few packages use them and these can no longer be built.

We can add those if anyone needs it. Also those packages need to be buildable and usable in mingw environment 😺

Hey, I really need coq for MSYS2 as a Windows user.

If you are a random person from Google and found this, this is what you should do

  • download the windows installer release from coq platform: https://github.com/coq/platform/releases/tag/2022.09.1
  • don't install, uses 7-zip to extract the exe into a directory
  • copy the bin, lib, etc, share, man dirs to your /usr/local/
  • confirm the findlib.conf file is in /usr/local/lib
  • in your bash rc, add a line export OCAMLFIND_CONF=/usr/local/lib/findlib.conf
  • restart your MSYS2 shell and running coqide should work!
