Does not build with MSYS2 mingw64 on Windows 11

[mbparker]

I followed the instructions to the letter with a brand new install of MSYS2.

However, at the point of running the CMAKE command, all I get is this:

MINGW64 ~/libusbp/build
$ MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL=- cmake .. -G"MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$MINGW_PREFIX
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "MSYS Makefiles".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_AR was not found, please set to archive program.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I'm guessing that either some assumptions are made about things that have already been installed, or I'm mis-interpreting something.

I ran this as advised in a similar issue:

$ echo $MSYSTEM which cmake which gcc MINGW64 /mingw64/bin/cmake /mingw64/bin/gcc

Please advise.

(I had no problems with the macOS or Linux builds, btw)

What do you get if you run which make ?

What do you get if you run which make ?

$ which make which: no make in (/mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)

That seems problematic. Is there a specific version of Make that I should install? or Is pacman -S make sufficient?

[DavidEGrayson]

Yeah, you should do pacman -S make. I'll think about adding that to the directions, or just changing the directions to use the default generator, which is now Ninja.
