Build issue on Windows

VCV Rack

When I try to build Rack from source on Windows, I get the following Cmake error log:

Detecting C compiler ABI info failed to compile with the following output:

Does anyone know what could cause this issue?

Well, I don’t know, but… are you using 64 bit Version of MSYS? Did you build deps first? Did you install all the modules that it says to in the manual? I’ve usually found that the instructions work on every system I’ve tried.
