asm_defines_nasm.h is not generated on Windows

[LuigiBlood]

When I try to build mupen64plus-core, I keep being stuck as the script simply does not produce asm_defines_nasm.h to even start building the core.

I use Visual Studio 2022 as it seems to be the defacto version now as of the latest commit for msvc. I use Windows 10, also.

What error code does the script return?

I'm assuming this potentially only affects VS2022 IDE x64... What I can do is add an anchor to the script contemplating the possibility that the old behavior (msbuild path == project file path) of the previous IDEs has changed.

I tested with Release/Debug Win32/x64 regardless of anything, it also happens with VS2019 But here's what it returns, sorry it's in french.

The type or find commands are doing something unexpected on your system...

Open CMD and post the output of type /? and find /?.

If you can, open the path of asm_defines.obj in CMD and run type ".\asm_defines.obj" and post the output.

Okay I solved the problem, there was something in PATH that pointed to MSYS with a different find executable. I just removed that. It compiles now.
