Normally when I find an old ticket that says "doesn't build", I'm able to close it out, but not today!
I installed the latest Strawberry Perl 5.24.0.1 (64bit), and used the git bash shell to checkout a copy of rakudo (using the https protocol and setting my http/https proxy env vars). The configure failed for me in about the same place, because the "install" directory was not created. After manually creating the folder, I reran the original Configure.pl script, which now got to building moar, which then died with: "unknown OS 'msys'" So, two different issues using Strawberry/git bash I know that jnthn (core developer) works on windows all the time, but uses the MS compiler to build.
