Thanks, that is helpful for when I want to try building for Windows 
using Github actions, but I'm looking for updated instructions on 
getting Enigma to build in mingw.

Someone has done it, since the 1.30-beta Win32 zip file has been 
uploaded, but the readme and the scripts in the source tree haven't been 
updated to explain how to do it.

I'm trying to get something to build in Windows using the msys2  build 
environment and I don't see how it was ever possible... For one thing, 
src/Makefile.am sets as a linker option for MINGW of -lsmpeg but that is 
only for SDL 1.2. With SDL2 it has to be -lsmpeg2 so I don't see how the 
Windows version could possibly have been built under MINGW.
