Thanks Matt.

Hence its not possible to use GNU make with it. It *is* possible to build for Windows using GNU make with a different target however. To do this you must first install MSYS2 with the mingw compiler packages and associated toolchain, as well as the MSYS2 version of perl (*not* other versions of perl). Then you can configure and build as normal: perl Configure mingw64 make make test make install See the section "mingw and mingw64" in NOTES.WIN.
