Description
Low-prio feature request:
If something went wrong during the "Generating dry-run output" step no built target can be selected, building might fail (for example after the dry-run step having run ./configure on MSYS2 without having set the right shell variables beforehand).
One can find out where to get a log from the dry-run step. But if there were a button that showed the result of that step in a console that would provide much more insights into that step.
