Re: Why doesn’t the Unix makefile build work on windows with clang and msys2

[David Chisnall]

As I have repeatedly said:

libobjc2 has no dependency on anything other than Windows.  It needs a Windows 
build environment.  It does not need MinGW.  It does not need Cygwin.

When you build it on Linux, it does not need WINE.

Building it on Windows requires following a small number of documented steps.  
I haven’t tried the UNIX Makefiles output on Windows (I use Ninja on all 
platforms, because it is faster), so there may be some bugs specific to that 
output from CMake.  Patches welcome.
