Compiling MAME on Windows 10

Hello,
I was wondering if MAME can be compiled under Win10? When I tried, it kept giving me A LOT of error messages, stating files couldn't be found in the windows directory. It's not a big deal cause I just rebooted into Windows 7 & was able to compile it just fine. But I wanted to ask 1st before I spent a long time trying to get it to work in Win10, just to find out it isn't possible. Any extra steps needed for Win10?
Thank you

I only use Windows 7 but to my knowledge there is no difference between the two Windows OSs. I can only assume you are using the same tools install for both? Each OS needs proper environmental variables and paths set in order to properly find everything needed for compiling. Beyond making sure of those things, I cannot suggest anything else and someone else may have ideas.

Right click on the Windows icon and then click on the Command Prompt.
In the cmd paste this. call C:\msys64\win32\env.bat "Or whatever the msys64 files is at."
In the cmd paste this. SET CONFIG_ARCHITECTURE=x64
In the cmd paste this. cd C:\source "Or whatever the source is at."
In the cmd paste this. make -j5 OPTIMIZE=3 SYMBOLS=1 SYMLEVEL=1 STRIP_SYMBOLS=1
Done.
Or I used my make.Bat Which I used most of time.
SET CONFIG_ARCHITECTURE=x64
call C:\msys64\win32\env.bat
cd C:\source
DEL /S /Q C:\source\mame64.exe
DEL /S /Q C:\source\mame64.sym
make -j5 OPTIMIZE=3 SYMBOLS=1 SYMLEVEL=1 STRIP_SYMBOLS=1
pause
RD /S /Q C:\source\build
RD /S /Q C:\source\saving
mame64 -cc
pause
Done.
Just in case you ask what is the saving.

Why not just use Headkaze's MAME Compiler?.....

Thank you all  I will give these a try a little later when I have time to try recompiling it. I got it compiled on Win 7, but will do it again on Win 10 just so I can get it all working

I don't compile, and there was nothing on his site that said it wasn't current, but never know, so good to know.
