4.0.0-dev compilation error

[amcrest]

I'm having a compilation error with a recent git download which I hope can be solved with your help, please. Research yields similar errors using gcc instead of g++, but I have g++ installed:

$ ./bootstrap

My limited knowledge prevents me from understanding what might be the problem, please?

You seem to be mixing up native and Windows build procedures.
