Has anyone else had build failures recently? I tried to build from a freshly made repository (cloned kicad-winbuilder) and first it failed when it didn’t find an archive folder; which I fixed by making an archive folder (lol). It stops, however, upon reaching the NSIS stuff.
I stopped using KiCad-Winbuilder tool when it was migrated to the MSYS2 environment. I tried several times, but it creates further problems. Later, I began to use files created with the Jenkins (http://ci.kicad.org) but how I see, there are problems too over a couple of days.

Just a follow-up, I was able to successfully build KiCad today after nickoe committed a fix for archive issue.
I still had an issue where wxwidgets was built using a different version of gcc (Fatal Error: Mismatch of C++ ABI). I built wxwidgets from the package myself and just copied and pasted the finished dlls into my kicad/bin folder. Works good thus far.
Edited: Spoke too soon, wxPython has the same mismatch between program and library build versions. I’ll do the same for that, I guess.
