Building rabbitmq-server on windows machine

[Justas293]

Greetings,
I am trying to build a RabbitMQ server on Windows based on instructions from https://www.rabbitmq.com/build-server.html. When I try to make or make run-broker I get the following error: Error: No Makefile to build dependency C:/RabbitMQ/deps/jsx.
I tried rm -rf deps/jsx, deleting .erlang.mk, trying the same process on a clean different machine, but that did not help as well.
This is the full error message:
make[1]: Entering directory '/c/rabbitmq/deps/rabbit_common' Error: No Makefile to build dependency /c/rabbitmq/deps/jsx. make[1]: *** [../../erlang.mk:4512: deps] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/c/rabbitmq/deps/rabbit_common' make: *** [erlang.mk:4512: deps] Error 2
I am using the master branch from https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server, running make from msys2 bash on a Windows 10 machine.

Does anyone have any ideas about what could be wrong?

Run using these commands:

git clean -xffd
make V=2 FULL=1 2>&1 | tee make.txt

Attach the output file to your response.

Do you have Erlang installed and in your PATH? If you've installed the Windows Erlang binary, you'll have to add /c/Program Files/erl-24.2.1/bin (or some such directory) to your PATH. I'm pretty sure msys2 doesn't auto-add Windows PATH items to its own PATH.

Honestly, building RabbitMQ on Windows is such a pain I usually build a windows package using WSL, then unzip the package for testing. Another more recent option is to use Bazel but it has it's own caveats.
