I'm trying to use fastText on my windows computer and I when I try to build the project using make command (I installed Make v3.81), I have this error :
c++ -pthread -std=c++11 -march=native -O3 -funroll-loops -DNDEBUG -c src/args.cc
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, c++ -pthread -std=c++11 -march=native -O3 -funroll-loops -DNDEBUG -c src/args.cc, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [args.o] Error 2
I'm totally new to using make and makefile, here is what the beginning of the makefile looks like :

I have checked topics on a similar error, but they were some specifics differences with their errors which doesn't seem to apply to my error.
Update (11/01/2023) :
As per suggested by MadScientist in bellow comments, I used WSL to run the program on ubuntu. I'm using Python 3.10.12 and g++ 11.4.0. I also installed numpy and scipy as required to build fastText.
Here is the new error I have when running make on the fastText directory under Ubuntu :

The error is much longer than that with a bunch of "undefined references" in between.
