[You need to use MSYS2 with MinGW-w64 installed.](https://stackoverflow.com/a/30071634/1906641) You do not need to pass anything special to `make` to build on MSYS2 + MinGW-w64. The Makefile will detect a Windows...

Thanks to your post, I've [updated the INSTALL document](https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes/commit/b39c45f8b554e9eca94f45840a017949fc530687) to cover Windows build requirements and to explain why dedupe and symlinks aren't supported. Thanks for your contribution!

Preliminary work to support this feature has been pushed in commit b1eccc71d61c0be511fa33e417b913f4c32961c7 and `--xsize` has been converted to use the new exclusion stack framework, so now `--xsize` can be passed...
