Hey so I ran 1-setup-windows-msys2.sh with mingw64 with seemingly no issue, then ran 2-build-debug.sh and it ended with errors:

```auto
  CXXLD synfigstudio.exe
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/11.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: error: export ordinal too large: 73261
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

```

This is the bin folder afterwards:

Any idea what’s going on here? I’m on windows 10.

Hi and welcome here 🙂  
This is a known issue at the moment for Windows (see [Error while building debug verision on windows. · Issue #2565 · synfig/synfig · GitHub](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/2565))

By luck the final production compilation through morevna-build is ok.

Until this will be solved (if it can, it is a compiler’s limitation obviously, too many symbols, limit at 65535), you can still use a Linux virtual machine to do the development 😉

Hi! Please use `2-build-msys-cmake.sh` for Windows build. This issue is present in autotools only.
