base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-fftw
mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk2 mingw-w64-x86_64-gtksourceview2
(because per default gtk3 is there but not gtk2)
That should now be fixed with the current pkglist.txt and
pkglist32.txt. I actually had included the gtk2 and fftw packages in
the lists. I think the trouble was that I'd inadvertently included my
own gretl-mingw package: that would not be found in the standard
repositories, which may have aborted the downloading.
One small note: the *toolchain package is a meta-package that includes
a lot of things, some of which are not needed for a gretl build. If
you install the meta-package then you can safely delete the ada and
objective-C compilers:
pacman -R mingw-w64-x86_64-ada mingw-w64-x86_64-objc
