okay i've installed msys2 and what should be gcc into mingw64 on a Windows10 laptop. this is not terribly clear as there are dozens of packages for gcc the one i installed was mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc 9.1.0-3 which i hope should be the one i need since it seemed the most generic, also gcc-libs as well.

doing the exact same actions (cd into active build directory then 'make all' results in 'bash make: command not found') so either the path has to be set or i need to navigate to where make is located. again i'm sure this is easy, but i don't know what to do to get make to run. looking in the /bin directory of c:\msys64\mingw64\bin i don't see a make binary but i really have no idea what to do at this point. i've edited the msys64/etc/fstab
file to include the path to the mingw64 folder but that has no effect on the bash path issue. further help appreciated!

also - i did find a cross compiler to install on my Mac so depending on how difficult this is to do in Windows i may just go that route.

best,
scott

If you want to build binaries for Windows on your mac, you'd need a cross compiler.

If you dont know what that is, you probably should geht hold on a Windows machine with msys2/mingw64 installed and build natively *there*.
