Moments after starting the make (see below,) the two files appeared in my src
directory.

$ mingw32-make.exe
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/mingw32-make -f Makefile.Release

this looks like the relevant parts from the Makefile.Release:

$(DESTDIR_TARGET): src/lexer.lexer.cpp src/parser_yacc.cpp
src/parser_yacc.h objects/ui_MainWindow.h objects/ui_Preferences.h
objects/ui_OpenCSGWarningDialog.h objects/ui_AboutDialog.h
objects/ui_FontListDialog.h objects/ui_ProgressWidget.h
objects/ui_launchingscreen.h objects/ui_LibraryInfoDialog.h $(OBJECTS)
objects/openscad_win32_res.o
$(LINKER) $(LFLAGS) -o $(DESTDIR_TARGET) object_script.openscad.Release

I've been trying to get to the equivalent point in the Linux build docs for
getting all the testing stuff working properly.

When I try to run git init

eventually I had success doing a cleanup of all my failed stuff:

the submodule loaded and the files appeared.  (In truth a bunch more
fiddling and fu went on, but I think those were the relevant parts.)

So then I tried to do the equivalent of:

using qmake instead of cmake.  That didn't work

Having then done the requested installs of cmake and imagemagick described
in the tests folder WinReadMe file, I thought maybe I should follow its
instructions and run the OpenSCAD_Test_Console.py

I swapped the order of

to be before the move to tests-build that it makes.  This got me a little
farther:

I then thought that instead I should be following the Linux instructions so
I tried cmake:

It looks like this all probably relies on the scripts like
./scripts/uni-build-dependencies.sh
which I wasn't clear were ready for the MSYS2 build world.

In any event (whew) before I kludge up my install any more, is there a
best-path sequence I should be attempting?
