Please do not advise user to mix various libraries like that. It is a direct way to dll hell. This way Gramps will use graphviz libs instead of MSYS2 ones and they are older and in much way incompatible with rest of Gramps dependencies.

Graphviz issue

Was the issue with Graphviz resolved? The URL (https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/737) provided in the manuel returns a 404.

Update: yes, it seems Graphviz can be installed simply by "pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-graphviz". The manual has been updated accordingly. Geggi

python-fontconfig

When following the instructions on this page, I run into the following error when executing this code "python3 setup.py install":
