Using node-gyp in Windows with Windows version of Node and Python and MSYS2 GCC

[Clayblockunova]

Currently, node-gyp in Windows need VS for working, but I have MSYS2 with GCC and don't want to install another C compiler. In #1240 , the only solution is use MSYS2 version of Node and Python, which means Windows version of Python should be dropped. what should I do if I want to use node-gyp in Windows with Windows version of Node and Python and MSYS2 GCC? (idk is patch by @smaudet finished)

@cclauss Sorry, but I can't find anything help. What should I do? Or should I wait for support?

I'd start by making a fork of node-gyp and trying to build the smallest project with it.
