Issue with OpenSSL Makefile Perl Command and %cd% not resolving properly

[justdan23@…]

Version: master (and) stable-1.22 branches
File: nginx/auto/lib/openssl/Makefile
Platform: VC-WIN64A on Windows OS using MSYS2 (64-bit) and Mingw64 (64-bit)

Issue: perl Configure changed to VC-WIN64A manually (but occurs with VC-WIN32), and results in %cd% not resolving to objs/lib/ folder causing an error where it is unable to find the folder pre location.

For MSVC builds, you are expected to use nmake as provided by MSVC, not GNU make. See ​Building nginx on the Win32 platform with Visual C for details.

I tried with 'nmake' and the result is the same:
