Both my files are over 900kB, and nothing is blacklisted:

MinGW packages are available in the windows:mingw repository on the OBS. I've been able to build Wine with MinGW support locally and I can tell you what MinGW packages I have installed, but I don't know how many of those are actually needed--my method was to keep installing stuff until configure stopped complaining.

The libraries for all of those should be pulled in as dependencies by installing the wine-32bit package from the Emulators:Wine repository (which is itself pulled in as a dependency by the wine package), though it looks like sane isn't. I'm not sure why; the sane-backends-32bit package is in the main repository.

I don't have either of those packages installed, and don't have the 64 bit libnetapi-devel package either, and configure has never complained about either one. I do have the 32 and 64 bit libraries installed for both.

Yes, it is weird. But I don't have any use for it myself, so I've never really pursued it beyond getting the packages needed to satisfy configure.

Hm, some of those may have been carried over from old howtos. I'll have to take a closer look whenever I get around to updating the wiki.

FAudio-devel and FAudio-devel-32bit are both in the Emulators:Wine repository.

I don't have that installed at all. I vaguely remember it used to be required, but it hasn't been needed in years.

I wound up building that myself; there are also a couple of other personal OBS projects that have it. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:dimesio/vkd3d 

In general, if something is not in the main or update repository, search the OBS, as there's a pretty good chance someone has already built it.
