Compiling on Windows outputs en error. "unknown encoding: mbcs"

[TheSlider2]

I followed the instructions to install the dependencies then ran the make command (Windows 10). `

$ make release scons mode=release scons: Reading SConscript files ...

I also encountered this problem but it seemed to be because I was running the prompt in msys2.exe instead of mingw64.exe

Closing because the issue is not from goxel itself.
