In my binary repo the following packages make use of the DLL:

mingw-w64-recode mingw-w64-libunistring mingw-w64-libpsl mingw-w64-poppler mingw-w64-libidn2 mingw-w64-libidn mingw-w64-libass mingw-w64-gettext mingw-w64-ffmpeg mingw-w64-qt5-base mingw-w64-libxml2 mingw-w64-c++utilities

(https://martchus.no-ip.biz/buildservice/#package-search-section?name%3Dpe-x86_64%253A%253Alibiconv-2.dll%26db%3Dany%26mode%3Dlibdepends)

So there doesn't seem to be a problem per-se. However, qt6 is notably missing in that list so there might be a problem with some packages.

EDIT: Looks like qt6 doesn't use iconv anymore, at least not on Windows. So not a problem after all.

It looks alright to me:

mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/libcharset-1.dll
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/libiconv-2.dll
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/iconv.h
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/libcharset.h
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/localcharset.h
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libcharset.a
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libcharset.dll.a
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libiconv.a
mingw-w64-libiconv usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libiconv.dll.a

So import libs and normal libs use a uniform naming scheme and are distinguishable by extension. That means adding -lcharset -liconv should¹ result in dynamic linking via the import libs unless -static has been specified as well.

¹Haven't actually tested it yet.

I think the resulting dlls has the wrong names (libiconv-2.dll and libcharset-1.dll), they shouldn't have a postfix. Since it doesn't come with a pkgconfig file, packages won't find it but will find the static version instead, which is named without a postfix.

fixed, make install doesnt like -j

I managed to build it. I had to invoke yay explicitly from a bash terminal to get this to build:

$ bash
$ yay -S mingw-w64-libiconv

(Copypaste from mingw-w64-gettext because the problem is from here)

Build is failing - its locking up after linking libiconv and is never finishing.

package() fails because the alias file was removed with version 1.16, so rm "$pkgdir"/usr/${_arch}/lib/charset.alias fails.

Since there is no mingw-w64-libiconv-static could you replace those lines with mingw-w64-win-iconv? Or is this a bad idea? sed "s|mingw-w64-libiconv-static|mingw-w64-win-iconv|g" -i PKGBUILD I'm currently getting this when trying to build mingw-w64-cairo in a clean chroot. :: mingw-w64-win-iconv and mingw-w64-libiconv are in conflict (mingw-w64-libiconv-static). Remove mingw-w64-libiconv? [y/N] error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: mingw-w64-win-iconv and mingw-w64-libiconv are in conflict
