[Help] Adding custom pacman repo to xmake

[PoloNX]

Hi ! I'm making a toolchain to use devkitpro. I pushed it here but I have one problem.
Devkitpro use pacman (here is the repo) and I want to use libs from the repo in my toolchain. I tried to use pacman:: But I'm on windows so xmake has a weird behaviour

Do you have an idea of how I can find a solution ?

please update to dev and try it again.

xmake update -s dev

find package failed, you can debug here. https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/blob/master/xmake/modules/package/manager/pacman/find_package.lua

[waruqi]

maybe name issue

xmake/xmake/modules/package/manager/pacman/find_package.lua

Line 119 in 09b1a53

if is_subhost("msys") and opt.plat == "mingw" then

I've used another approach that works, thanks for the help
