I'm using a Windows 10 PC to build Next. All of the firmware is compiled. But, when the GCS was building everything looked like it was going fine until I ended with this:

Any help would be appreciated.

SDL comes from Msys2 package now, see:
https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Windows+Building+and+Packaging#WindowsBuildingandPackaging-Installrequiredpackages

You should build the "next" branch with Msys2

That's what I installed by following the Windows build WIKI.

I did a "mingw32- make package" and resulted with a "qmake: command not found".

I built QT with "pacman -S --needed mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5" which finished OK.

Then I did "mingw32- make package" again which resulted in about an hour of compiling with the above ending.

If I look in the firmware folder it looks like that is OK.

This if my first attempt at building any software.

The pacman command line for package install depends on shell you use: 32 or 64 ?

If fails with SDL missing you need to install SDL using pacman.
Assuming you see MINGW64 at prompt (64bit shell) you need to install:

pacman -S --needed git unzip tar mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL mingw-w64-x86_64-mesa
mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-OpenSceneGraph

Be sure the msys2 package are updated / refreshed

steps 5 and 6

Thank you for your reply. I'm in process of doing that again. Hope it works this time.

I was able to do a successful build on my Windows 10 laptop using the 64 bit version and on my Windows 10 tablet using the 32 bit version.

Both run fine but neither one has the Map data. The Map area is blank except for the Home location symbol and the UAV position symbol.
