Error trying to building it locally on 'mingw64 shell (Windows)': error: invalid conversion from 'uintptr_t' {aka 'unsigned int'} to 'const void*' [-fpermissive]

[mickael28]

Hi,

I was trying to build the project locally as well to see if I could progress the previous issue but after installing all required tools without error, when I run the make command it fails to build and throws the following errors, do you know why this could be and how we could fix it? Thanks.

$ cmake ..

Looks like something changed in a newer version of Vita SDK. Simple fix, though.
