MYSYS2 MINGW64 Cmake Error

I’ve been trying to modify the game “PSXFunkin” for days by Msys2
Using the tutorial from this link

cuckydev/PSXFunkin/blob/master/COMPILE.md

# Compiling PSXFunkin

## Setting up the Development Environment
First off, you'll need a terminal one way or another.

### Windows
On Windows, you basically have two choices:
- MSYS2 (follow the instructions at https://www.msys2.org/ to set it up)
- WSL (Windows 10 Linux terminal from the Windows Store, maintained by Microsoft, follow Linux instructions from here on).

### MSYS2
Once you have MSYS2 set up, you'll need to copy the MIPS toolchain over. Download it here http://static.grumpycoder.net/pixel/mips/g++-mipsel-none-elf-11.2.0.zip.

Once you have it downloaded, make sure MSYS2 is closed, then open the zip up and extract the following folders into `C:/msys64/usr/local/`
- bin
- include
- lib
- libexec
- mipsel-none-elf

This file has been truncated. show original

I followed each step of the tutorial until git was not found, but I managed to solve it

now in the “Compiling mkpsxiso” step is where everything is going wrong

“cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release (add -G “MinGW Makefiles” --install-prefix /usr/local/ to the end of this if you’re using MSYS2”

so I went and typed
“cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G “MinGW Makefiles” --install-prefix /usr/local/”
and then this error appears

Cmake Error Cmake was unable to find a build program corresponding to “MinGW Makefiles”. CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
– Configuring incomplete, error occurred!

here I have no idea what to do to make it work
please someone give me the answer.

In order to use CMake in MSYS2, you need to be in an MSYS shell with an MSYS-targeting CMake. Windows is different from MSYS and each is different for Cygwin.
