Is it failing when running 'make' for the Installer, or are you trying
to 'configure' and 'make' the Claws package directly?

The environment needs to be set up properly, otherwise it'll find devel
packages for the linux system like you're seeing.

If you just want to apply patches, name them 02_, 03_, etc. and drop
them in the patches/claws_mail/ folder.

To build Claws outside of the installer build system, do:

export SYSROOT=/home/enan/projects/claws-mail-win32-4.1.1-1/src/playground
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/enan/projects/claws-mail-win32-4.1.1-1/src/playground/install/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/home/enan/projects/claws-mail-win32-4.1.1-1/src/playground/install/lib/pkgconfig
cd src/playground/build/claws_mail-4.1.1-build
../claws_mail-4.1.1/configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ...
