I followed the "Windows Preparation" instructions. However, I got lots of errors like:

Rscript build_r.R --use-gpu

Thanks for using LightGBM.

I'm not sure why a mix of Rtools and MSVC headers are being used. You may be able to get around this by forcing the use of the MSYS2 toolchain bundled with Rtools.

Rscript build_r.R --gpu --use-msys2

It seems that #6599 describes the same issue. There's already significant discussion over there, so I'm going to close this. Let's keep the conversation over there.
