not compile properly in msys2 windows

[bigtan]

I tried make lib WINDOWS=1 and it finished properly, then I tried make install DESTDIR="$HOME/prebuilt" it returns:

I think you need make install DESTDIR="$HOME/prebuilt" WINDOWS=1. Alternatively, do export WIDNOWS=1, and then you won't have to type it on every single invocation of make for you current shell session.

[bigtan]

@mpg when type make install DESTDIR="$HOME/prebuilt" WINDOWS=1 nothing happened there and the task is not finished.

[mpg]

Ok, I'll investigate.

[mpg]

Quoting from the Readme:

In order to build for a Windows platform, you should use WINDOWS_BUILD=1 if the target is Windows but the build environment is Unix-like (for instance when cross-compiling, or compiling from an MSYS shell), and WINDOWS=1 if the build environment is a Windows shell (for instance using mingw32-make) (in that case some targets will not be available).

So from an MSYS2 shell you should be using WINDOWS_BUILD=1, not WINDOWS=1. Also, note that the "install" target is not implemented on a pure windows environment, it needs a Unix shell.

Works for me when using WINDOWS_BUILD=1, as the documentation says.

Please feel free to reopen the ticket if you're still experiencing problems or think the documentation is not clear.
