I'm very much interested in building the windows wallet from source but the github instructions seem to be missing steps or are possibly referring to older versions of the software and I cannot follow properly. For example on step 5) "Run msys.bat located in C:\MinGW49-32\msys\1.0", there is no MinGW49-32 directory at all and I even made sure to install MinGW 5.3.0 from the Tools menu in the latest version of Qt installer (Qt 5.10.0). The closest I can find is C:\Qt\Qt5.10.0\5.10.0\mingw53_32 but it does not contain an msys directory or msys.bat. I then downloaded and installed the latest MinGW from http://www.mingw.org and lo and behold I now have the msys.bat so I was able to continue through step 7 and build leveldb but once again on step 10 there is no C:/dev directory and that is where I am stuck. Step 11 mentions running the 49-32-qt5.bat file which I have nothing similar on my machine so I did a search and pulled up instructions on how to build similar windows wallets for some other coins: https://github.com/CoinProjects/AmsterdamCoin and https://github.com/coinonat/CoinonatX. I mean the steps for those are pretty much word-for-word identical instructions which may make sense for these Qt wallets since they are basically the same thing with slightly different code to work with a different blockchain, but nothing is explained about how these folders should magically appear on a computer.

I saw a msg here about joining slack to ask the devs but when I try to enter the magnet slack it says I cannot log in (Sorry, you entered an incorrect email address or password) - and yes, I am able to log into other slack channels just fine so it appears this is invite only or locked? (I admit I know very little about slack at this moment as I have not had to use it up to this point).

Truthfully the only reason I want to build from source instead of just download the compiled wallet is because of the virus warnings. Apparently other wallets have this same warning but I am staking in 6 other coins, all in qt wallets and zero of them give me virus warnings. I need to prove to myself that compiling from source will trip the same warnings before I can truly trust this wallet but Im almost feeling like the instructions are intentionally vauge and difficult to follow. If someone can point me in the right direction I would be more than happy to write some up-to-date instructions so that even the non-developers among us can follow along. It seems I am not the only one who is having troubles with this process as there is a recent issue posted on git about this very problem https://github.com/magnetwork/magnet/issues/2. For the record, I am a software developer by trade and could probably figure the rest out on my own if I spend a few more hours on this problem but I have never done much with python development so the tools are foreign to me currently. Has anyone else been able to successfully build the windows wallet?
