Please try using the make.exe executable for MinGW-w64 instead: $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-make Now $ which make.exe should output /mingw64/bin/make.exe >> Does the build work on the classic MSYS environment? > > I never tried it. > >> Are there reports >> of it working on Windows at all? > > See https://github.com/lhmouse/mcfgthread/blob/master/README.md. lhmouse is an active member of the MinGW-w64 project (now he is posting on the mailing list as Liu Hao).
