I'm the guy who (I believe) pointed out the easy way didn't work. I'll give the new instructions a try.

I'll give it a try.

Subject: [Bug 1752150] Re: Build from source MSYS2 the Easy Way Fails

OK, I removed the easy way and verified that the remaining instructions work for me on Windows 10 http://docs.kicad-pcb.org/doxygen/md_Documentation_development_compiling.html#build_windows

Title:
  Build from source MSYS2 the Easy Way Fails

Status in KiCad:
  New

Bug description:
  As per the title, after numerous attempts, this fails on Windows 10.

  I completely installed Msys2 and made sure there were no other
  instances.

  $  makepkg-mingw -is

  runs for several minutes and fails with

  "CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:577 (find_package):
    By not providing "FindOCE.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
    asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "OCE", but
    CMake did not find one.

    Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OCE" (requested
    version 0.16) with any of the following names:

      OCEConfig.cmake
      oce-config.cmake

    Add the installation prefix of "OCE" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "OCE_DIR"
    to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "OCE" provides a
    separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed."

  Initially these files were not in my computer. I went to the directory
  mingw-w64-oce
  and there were only 3 files: oce-i686.install, oce-x86_64.install, and PKGBUILD. The only one I could figure out what to do with was PKGBUILD, so I ran 

  $  makepkg-mingw -is

  within mingw-w64.

  This ran for several hours. It gave me errors

  "-- Configuring done

    Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

  Sure enough the build of OCE failed at 78%
  "[ 78%] Built target TKSTEPBase
  make: *** [Makefile:163: all] Error 2
  ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
      Aborting..."

  However, I found OCE-Config.cmake so set

  $ set OCE_DIR=./BrianP/src/MINGW-packages/mingw-w64-oce/src/oce-
  OCE-0.17.2/build-x86_64-w64-mingw32/OCEConfig.cmake

  I tried to make Kicad again as per the instructions and got the same
  error.

  I am pretty much stuck here: I followed the instructions at
  http://docs.kicad-
  pcb.org/doxygen/md_Documentation_development_compiling.html#msys2_easy
  exactly and the make fails.

  Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.
