    I'm trying to compile code::blocks in msys2 -- the windows binary supplied on the site keeps crashing on me.

    First I'm downloading the wxWidgets sources and then in there, do
    ./configure --prefix=/mingw64 # 64-bit compilation
    make; make install

    That's fine, exverything finishes. But then The code::blocks installation instructions say I need to run ldconfig
    http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux#Building_wxWidgets
    and that's not on my system? I have ldd and other linker related tools, but not ldconfig.

    Is this in a package that I somehow managed to not download?
    Apart from 'pacman -Ss ldconfig' and 'pacman -Ql ldconfig' I'm not sure what to do.

    You are trying to follow GNU/Linux instructions on Windows, that won't work very well. Windows doesn't have ldconfig.

    I'm doing all these steps inside the Msys2 shell -- the Linux commands make more sense there than the Windows commands or so I thought.

    So that means the answer to my question (which package contains ldconfig) is that, as this is Windows, there is no need/place for ldconfig?

    There is no need/place for it, that's correct. It's GNU/Linux specific:

    http://linux.die.net/man/8/ldconfig

    Excellent. Thanks, that clears it up! Other than that the Linux commands for make etc work well.
