I'm trying to compile Asylia via its makefile, with MinGW... Am I using the wrong compiler?

It's seems MinGW is getting stuck on the square brackets in "$(BUILD):"... And square brackets in MinGW are a Unix / Bash thing...

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, basename C:/Users/Andy/Desktop/Asylia-master, ...) failed.

'[' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Do I need Cygwin's to run that?

Or some easy edits that I don't know, so MinGW can run the makefile properly?

Oh... MinGW hasn't been updated in years... If that's the issue, I guess my only solution is to install Cygwin's gcc-g++, and then figure out how to compile things with that?

On Cygwin 64 bit.

$ wget https://github.com/Quent42340/Asylia/archive/master.zip

$ unzip master.zip

finishing deferred symbolic links:

  Asylia-master/droid/assets/audio -> /home/quentin/Projects/Asylia/audio

  Asylia-master/droid/assets/data -> /home/quentin/Projects/Asylia/data

  Asylia-master/droid/assets/fonts -> /home/quentin/Projects/Asylia/fonts

  Asylia-master/droid/assets/graphics -> /home/quentin/Projects/Asylia/graphics

the last four are broken links as they should not be absolute links but relative one

  Asylia-master/audio == /home/quentin/Projects/Asylia/audio

  Asylia-master/data  == /home/quentin/Projects/Asylia/data

  Asylia-master/fonts == /home/quentin/Projects/Asylia/fonts

  Asylia-master/graphics == /home/quentin/Projects/Asylia/graphics

In any case we can also ignore the issue for the build

$ make

...

built ... Asylia-master

$ ls -lrt

total 49M

...

-rwxrwxr-x+ 1 Marco Kein  38M Dec 27 22:39 Asylia-master.exe

To run from an Xterm

$ ./Asylia-master.exe

The package is directly depending only from SDL2 shared libraries

$ cygcheck ./Asylia-master.exe | grep "^  D"

  D:cygwin64bincygwin1.dll

  D:cygwin64bincygSDL2-2-0-0.dll

  D:cygwin64bincygSDL2_image-2-0-0.dll

  D:cygwin64bincygSDL2_mixer-2-0-0.dll

  D:cygwin64bincygSDL2_ttf-2-0-0.dll

So the following packages are needed

$ cygcheck -cd |grep SDL2

libSDL2-devel                           2.0.7-1

libSDL2_2.0_0                           2.0.7-1

libSDL2_image-devel                     2.0.2-1

libSDL2_image2.0_0                      2.0.2-1

libSDL2_mixer-devel                     2.0.2-1

libSDL2_mixer2.0_0                      2.0.2-1

libSDL2_ttf-devel                       2.0.14-1

libSDL2_ttf2.0_0                        2.0.14-1

plus of course cygwin-devel,make and the compiler

gcc-core                                7.3.0-3

gcc-g++                                 7.3.0-3
