If you really insist on getting all dependencies installed on Windows, by
far the easiest way in 2025 is to use vcpkg in classic mode. Just run the 3
or 4 commands in the vcpkg 'getting started' guide, then do 'vcpkg install
libintl' or whatever package it is you need and you get everything neatly
installed in one directory so you only need to add one path to your IDE's
include path.

It seems like you are doing many of the things that would be required to
build OpenSCAD on a previously-unsupported toolchain. That's a pretty big
project, especially when it's not a UNIX-based platform, and especially
when it doesn't have all of the POSIX header files available.
I'd suggest using one of the supported environments.
anyone know where i can get the full source code for gettext .. or at
least just the include files
Looks like the glibc version is here:
