Build fails on Windows with mingw

[foxy pirate cove / Fnaf]

I'm tryng to build on Windows, with mingw32-make, and I started this command: mingw32-make -j 48 (like the make -j 48 in BUILD.md), and I have this error:

make (e=206): Filename or extension too long.
mingw32-make: *** [check_sequence] Error 206

This is the total text outputed by the command (with in the command):

(venv) C:\Dcmt\noto-emoji>mingw32-make -j 48
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, which zopflipng, ...) failed.

I hope you will help me.

Windows has limits on the length of paths. Maybe you could try to use the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to build Noto Emoji...

Unless there is a small tweak that would make it work I think we likely won't fix Windows builds so for now I will close and mark wontfix. Apologies for the inconvenience.

No problem, I tryied with WSL and it seems work (just it seems a little bit freeze but I create a new issue for this).
