Build errors on Windows 10

 

Hello All,

I tried to build the KiCad source in Windows 10 MSYS2 environment using the
steps available in the
http://docs.kicad-pcb.org/doxygen/md_Documentation_development_compiling.html
 location.

However, the build fails with the following error.

CMake Error: Could not create named generator MSYS Makefiles

  Ninja                        = Generates build.ninja files.

Is this a known error?

Thanks!
