Installing felt / tippecanoe

Question

I trying to installing felt /tippecanoe in windows 10. I followed the installation steps but got a problem with "make -j".

Error message I get is below.

C:\tippecanoe>make -j

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, uname -s, ...) failed.

Makefile:18: pipe: No such file or directory

g++ -MMD -I/usr/local/include -I. -g -Wall -Wshadow -Wsign-compare -Wextra -Wunreachable-code -Wuninitialized -Wshadow -O3 -DNDEBUG -std=c++17 -fPIE -c -o geojson.o geojson.cpp

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, g++ -MMD -I/usr/local/include -I. -g -Wall -Wshadow -Wsign-compare -Wextra -Wunreachable-code -Wuninitialized -Wshadow -O3 -DNDEBUG -std=c++17 -fPIE -c -o geojson.o geojson.cpp, ...) failed.

make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [Makefile:88: geojson.o] Error 2

I dont know what to do next. I also tried it in ubuntu in hyper-v but still get the same error message.

This package is prepared for Linux. You can see "/usr/local/include". On Windows You can't find path like this. You need to rewrite make file for Windows, or just run virtual machine with Ubuntu and compile it there.

for compile on clear Ubuntu do next:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential libsqlite3-dev zlib1g-dev
git clone https://github.com/mapbox/tippecanoe.git
cd tippecanoe
sudo make -j
sudo make install
