Meshery Local Server not Starting (gcc mingw files not found)

While running make server
I get this error:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/11/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lmingwex: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/11/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lmingw32: No such file or directory

I have gcc version 11.4.0 installed. The server won’t start due to -lmingw32 & lmingwex libraries not present.

I tried installing minGW-w64 files, still shows same error.

Try out this solution. I Hope it will work.

packfile not found
already up-to-date

I’m not really sure what to do at this stage.
I don’t understand packfile not found message.
And my localhost:9801 still shows nothing
