Compilation error: no match for 'operator--'

Question

Cannot build meta-toolkit on Windows (Win10 64-bit). I followed the instructions at https://meta-toolkit.org/setup-guide.html#windows-build-guide

A quick search for this error message seems to imply that (elsewhere, in unrelated code) there is a pointer-vs-object mismatch C++ Error: No match for 'operator='

Replace "--__i" with "__i = __i -1" in file C:\some\path\msys64\mingw64\include\c++\9.2.0\bits\stl_iterator_base_funcs.h, line 183.

This worked for me! :)
