Unable to start program

[Wiggo32]

I hope I am posting in the correct place for this as I am not sure if this is a "me" issue just not knowing what I am doing. I downloaded both releases (v14 and v18) for windows in an attempt to compile something (https://github.com/PeterLemon/N64). I tried v14 first because that is what was suggested to use in Peter's readme. After downloading and unzipping, I received this error:

Google led me down a road of attempting to install this specific library using either msys2 or cygwin neither of which helped me in my attempt to get this working. Several hours later, I tried the v18 release and while I did not receive that error any longer, the only thing that did was pop up a command terminal for a split second before disappearing altogether.

I've tried following the instructions in this github's readme and I have not been able to find anything about how to get started so I am not sure if I am even doing things correctly. After consulting github, it was suggested to create an 'issue' ticket because there may be a chance something is not working.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this and thank you for any advice with this matter.

Usually a command line app popping up a terminal for a split second is because of trying to run the app by double clicking on it, which it isn't designed to be run that way. It runs and then completes and the terminal which was spawned through the GUI disappears.

To see the output without the terminal disappearing, open a command prompt or powershell first (you can do windows key+R and then run cmd.exe) then navigate to the directory bass is at with "cd" then run bass.exe

Or, If you hold shift then right click explorer, you can open a powershell directly in that directory. That might be easier.
