Help building MiSTer from source?

[Caldor]

Can anyone help me build the MiSTer main?

I have installed MSYS.
I have gotten gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-win32 unpacked into MSYS\opt\linaro
I should have added opt\linaro\bin to path
But now I am not sure where to put the MiSTer source from git. I have tried just putting it in the home directory MSYS\Home\(my folder)\
And when I type dir it lists the files in this folder

It also recognizes arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-7.5.0.exe as a command... not sure if it should be arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc.exe instead. But I am just still not sure what file to give it.

I tried commands like
"arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-7.5.0.exe makefile"
But well, no luck so far. I tried googling stuff, and that is how I got this far, but now I think I need some help.

I think I managed to build the newest version of AO486, but it requires the newest version of MiSTer.

The expected command would be "make"

Ahh, well one of my problems was figuring out how to install make. I googled that again and this time I found this thread:
https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/mailman ... sg32274216

Where someone called Alexey suggests:
pacman -S make

I am thinking that is likely to be Sorgelig. That seemed to work... now it cannot find the command arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc.

I have the file arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc.exe in my opt\linaro\bin folder, so... I must have a path problem still. I thought it was enough to just run it as a command in MSYS to add it to the path. Just unsure if path in this case is the overall one for Windows or some MSYS specific one. I will assume its probably the Windows one and try to add this folder to that path.

My assumption was wrong, its MSYS specific... or that Linux subsystem specific. Either way I solved the problem with this command:

export PATH=$PATH:"/C/intelFPGA_lite/MSYS/opt/linaro/bin"

With C being the drive I have MSYS on, I have it in my IntelFPGA_Lite folder, which is for compiling the cores. I am pretty sure there is a way to add this path that is a bit simpler and more... in relation to the MSYS install path. But this worked, I now made my first MiSTer main compiled build.

Thanks
