  1. A few fixes were needed to #zimk (my very own #GNU #make framework) to make everything work perfectly again in #Windows #CMD.

    Testing these now, here's building #dos2ansi on Windows with just 'make' and 'mingw' installed from #chocolatey 😎

    (building worked before as well, but there were lots of glitches and issues like e.g. partially broken "clean" rules)

  2. Time to verify all my additions to my #GNUmake framework #zimk didn't break compatibility with #Windows #CMD -- they didn't 😎

    So, you can still build #dos2ansi yourself on Windows with the minimal set of tooling installed, e.g. using #chocolatey, 'choco install mingw' and 'choco install make' is enough ☑️

    The garbled output seen in the screenshot is a consequence of Windows #Console output being strictly unbuffered, which allows these things to happen with make jobs ... I see no way to work around this .... 🙄
