[fluid-dev] Building fluidsynth with MSYS2 on Windows error

[Alexander Reeves]

Hi all,

I followed the instructions for building fluidsynth with MSYS2 on Windows outlined here and hit an error at building bullet point 3: 

Navigate into that folder and run cmake on the previous directory, specifying the Makefile type cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ..

I ran the cmake command with the MINGW64 shell in the directory that looks like 

/fluidsynth-1.1.11/src/build

Then I got the following output:

$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ..
