Description
I am using nightly build v20220622 for msys2 because I could not install version 0.11.2
I couldn’t compiled a project generated by Project Generator
I set the openFramework path: in Project Generator to
C:\openFrameworks\of_v20220622_msys2_mingw64_nightly\of_v20220622_msys2_mingw64_release
but the config.make output by the project generator the path is not correctly
OF_ROOT in the config.make is
OF_ROOT = C:\openFrameworks\of_v20220622_msys2_mingw64_nightly\of_v20220622_msys2_mingw64_release
I was able to compile it by rewriting it as follows
OF_ROOT = /C/openFrameworks/of_v20220622_msys2_mingw64_nightly/of_v20220622_msys2_mingw64_release
How do I get the project generator to work correctly?
Thank you.

Research direction
Start with the Project Generator settings handling and inspect the generated config.make, focusing on how the Windows OF_ROOT path is written for the MSYS2 nightly build. Reproduce the issue with the reported path and verify that the generated path uses the MSYS2-compatible form and allows the project to compile.
