AW: Cerbero Building from Source Error on Windows

[Thornton, Keith]

Hi,
I'm afraid I don't understand. I installed MinGW with all options enabled and am running from the msys shell exactly the same as I used to for 1.10, 1.12...

Hi astarakastara,

The main reason why you're having so many issues is because you're not following the README exactly. Using Cerbero inside MSYS2 is not tested, and all the problems you have posted so far are because of that.

Please read the "Windows" section in the README and follow it exactly.
Do not use MSYS2.

Cheers,
Nirbheek
