Is anyone successfully compiling Horizon EDA on windows? I followed instructions in the Horizon Doc, but I have issue with Make not finding core dlls.
You should probably paste the exact error message you’re getting.

You opened the wrong environment. You started the MSYS console, but you need to start the MINGW64 console:
https://horizon-eda.readthedocs.io/en/wip/build-win32.html#start-msys-console
Launch the Start Menu item “MSYS2 mingw 64 bit”
You’re right - that was the issue. It would be helpful if the title in the instructions was:
Start MSYS2 mingw 64 bit console or
Start MSYS2 64bit console

Windows does not make it very prominent when searching:
