Actually, Brad found the problem with the msys make crash. We should have a fix
for 2.2.4. But for now, you have to run CMakeSetup from a command prompt.
The problem was a missing stdin pipe which the make in msys requires. When CMakeSetup
is run from the Start menu it has no stdin, but from a command prompt it has one.
