Instructions for compiling on Windows don't work #14

I've followed the instructions from README file and I wasn't able to compile the app on Windows 11 64 bit.

I've tried using 32 and 64 bit version of MSYS2. I got an error that there was no cmake and yet the install process has listed it.

I've added cmake package one more time using pacman -Syu cmake. Now I stop receiving message that I'm missing cmake but I got a new error:

$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=. ..
CMake Error: Could not create named generator MSYS Makefiles

Generators

Maybe some option is missing. Can you please check?
