I tried this patch, but it still does not work.

It works on my device and I'm using the latest version of msys2/mingw64. You can try msys2/MINGW-packages#4035.

I tried reinstalling msys2 and it works on my device.

1. Download and unzip https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/download/2024-05-07/msys2-base-x86_64-20240507.tar.xz
2. Click mingw64.exe in the directory msys64 and execute the following command:

pacman -Syy
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-ncurses mingw-w64-x86_64-readline
cd path/to/xmake
./configure --prefix=/mingw64
make
make install
xmake f -P core --menu
