Should be able to build for Windows using mingw64.exe shell

[c0d3h4x0r]

I've been trying to get mame2016-libretro building under mingw64.exe (rather than the MSYS2-based win32env shell), which has required me to pull in the latest stable version (version 1115 (commit cd9b1a624810b166d11788d01c2aa4daf2ea42e6)) of GENie to resolve some build errors.

With that in place, I still get the following remaining build errors:

This is caused by incorrect library ordering in the generated mame2016.make. libshared.a needs to come before libsega.a in order for that function to be recognized by the linker when it reasons over libsega.a.

The LUA code responsible for this appears to reside in make_cpp.lua, inside the function cpp.linker(). It needs to somehow be adjusted to guarantee the correct relative static library ordering as needed by mame2016-libretro in order to successfully link.

[c0d3h4x0r]

I am working on a fix for this.

[c0d3h4x0r]

I've think I've finally got this working. I had to add a table-ordering hack to make_cpp.lua in GENie, then run genie embed to force scripts.c to get regenerated correctly, then rebuild mame2016-libretro with REGENIE=1.

can you please guide me whats wrong
