Windows Build Fails - error: failed to run custom build command for `ring v0.16.20`

[AIoTPunks]

Hi. Will you help me get my windows machine announcement mining? I'm getting an error message when I install on my newly build windows 10. Below are the steps I took and the error message.

STEPS

1. Installed Windows 10 on my macbook pro via boot camp: https://support.apple.com/boot-camp

2. Installed dependencies: go, rust, cargo, git, visual studio

3. I entered these two commands.
   rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
   rustup set default-host x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
   Windows build fails #37 (comment)

4. I did not setup or create a wallet on my PC. Plan was to use my existing wallet address, that I created on my mac.

5. I ran this command. The error comes up on the "cargo build --release" part
   git clone https://github.com/cjdelisle/packetcrypt_rs
   cd packetcrypt_rs
   cargo build --release

The following manual is how to install it on a fresh Windows 10 installation. It needs about 30 GB including the operating system.

First install msys2 from msys2.org:

After installation, it opens a terminal window. Update it as described on the webpage:

pacman -Syu

This will close the msys2 terminal. Start it again (type "msys2" in the Windows search bar to quickly find it), then:

pacman -Su
pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium
pacman -S git

This is the same as suggested on the webpage, except for the additional libsodium library, which is needed by the miner software later, and git for cloning projects.

Then you can close the terminal windows.

Next add the directories c:\msys64\ming64\bin and c:\msys64\usr\bin to the Windows system path:

Now open a new command prompt (type cmd.exe in the search bar and hit enter). If you enter gcc --version it should look like this (might be a later version, and another user name) :

Close the command prompt, and install Rust from rustup.rs. Then open a new command prompt and enter this:

rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
rustup set default-host x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Finally create a new temporary directory, clone the project, and compile it:

cd c:\
mkdir tmp
git clone https://github.com/cjdelisle/packetcrypt_rs
cd packetcrypt_rs
cargo build --release

The result is in the target\release directory:

PS: here are all the warnings I got when compiling the miner software, which should be fixed:

Also, using "%llu", for example used here:

packetcrypt_rs/packetcrypt-sys/packetcrypt/src/BlockMine.c

Line 167 in 9cce37e

printf("%llu - ", (long long unsigned) loc);

is a GCC extension and not portable C and might fail later with Visual C. The standard way is with the %PRI* macros, as described here, for example %PRIu64, which is defined in inttypes.h:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/integer

thank you very much m8 .. installing MSYS2 was crucial to successfully compile packetcrypt ...
