Following instructions on git hub for installation of pcb2gcode does not work on MYSYS2

[scnew]

I did the following using the directions I could not get pcb2gcode to work:

Finally, download and build pcb2gcode

$ cd ..
$ git clone https://github.com/pcb2gcode/pcb2gcode.git
$ cd pcb2gcode/
$ autoreconf -fvi
$ ./configure <-- Failed : see below
$ make LDFLAGS='-s'

$ ./configure

..........
...
checking whether to build with code coverage support... no
checking for valgrind... no
checking for Boost headers version >= 1.60.0... no
configure: error: cannot find Boost headers version >= 1.60.0

I checked MYSYS2 for the boost libs that are installed using pacman

$ pacman -Ss | grep boost
clangarm64/mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-boost 1.88.0-2
clangarm64/mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-boost-libs 1.88.0-2
mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-boost 1.88.0-2
mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-boost-libs 1.88.0-2
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-boost 1.88.0-2 [installed]
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-boost-libs 1.88.0-2 [installed]
ucrt64/mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-boost 1.88.0-2
ucrt64/mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-boost-libs 1.88.0-2
clang64/mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-boost 1.88.0-2 [installed]
clang64/mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-boost-libs 1.88.0-2 [installed]

I then checked for boost*.pc under the mingw64 libs area with the following:
under /mingw64/lib

$ find . -type f -print | grep boost

There were a how bunch of files under cmake (too extensive to list)

Here is what I got ---

There were no boost*.pc files under lib directory.

I did check boost repository. I found nothing as far as bugs or instructions for MYSYS2 boost libs. I have searched for something that would tell me why boost*.pc are not there only to find the following:

"Many Boost libraries are "header-only" and don't require separate compilation or linking, so they won't have a corresponding .pc file. pkg-config is primarily for linking against compiled libraries."

I am not sure which boost libs that are needed. I would have to go through the code and figure that out. Not sure if anyone has any answers to this issue.

I did try and find binaries for MYSYS2 and did not have any luck. So-- I guess I cannot use pcb2gcode for MYSYS2.

If anyone has info to the contrary please post.

Kind Regards---
