@Huey1 thanks for jumping in!
I'm on windows 10 enterprise Version 21H1
Just so you know, I'm getting this when running mingw32-make --version
GNU Make 3.82.90
Built for i686-pc-mingw32

And this from running which mingw32-make
/c/MinGW/bin/mingw32-make
So the program is definitely on my system. I just don't know what else does stupid windows wants.
