Description
New user trying to install v0.10.0 Windows Qt Creator/msys2. I'm following setup guide here (https://openframeworks.cc/setup/msys2/) and have problem compiling oF libraries... in MINGW32 shell after typing "make" I get the following error: “HOST_OS=MINGW32_NT-10.0
makefileCommon/config.shared.mk:207: *** This package doesn’t support your platform, probably you downloaded the wrong package?. Stop.”
I tried both v0.10.0_msys2_release as well as the v20181009_msys2_nightly, get same error in both cases.
Any advice?

Research direction
Start with the MSYS2 setup guide and reproduce the failure by running make in the MINGW32 shell. Inspect makefileCommon/config.shared.mk around line 207 and compare the reported HOST_OS value with the package and platform assumptions; done means the selected package compiles without the platform-support error.
