I've created a new script to compile MAME with Clang 15.0.7 under Windows 10 that works also under Windows XP.

STEPS TO COMPILE:

* Download the buildtool: https://github.com/mamedev/buildtools/releases/download/7.0/msys64-2022-01-12.exe
Double-click on msys64-2022-01-12.exe and extract the files in a directory of your choice.
* Create a desktop shortcut for the msys64\mingw32.exe.
* Make sure you are connected to the internet!!! Start the mingw32 shortcut and wait until initialisation is finish.
* Now changed the default size of the Console-Window with left mouse button - "Options..." and "Window" to Columns=135 and Rows=35.
Press "Save" and restart mingw launcher.
* Copy the files 'initXP32-Clang.sh', 'gitXP32-Clang.sh' and XPackage.zip into msys64\tmp. Type/Paste bash -l /tmp/initXP32-Clang.sh
* The script will now download the newest MAME source and the compiler tools. After the script is finish you can go offline!
* Restart the mingw launcher and type/paste one the following lines starting with make... into the console to compile a MAME verion:

MAME:              make -j5 OVERRIDE_CXX=clang++ OVERRIDE_CC=clang
ARCADE:            make -j5 SUBTARGET=arcade OVERRIDE_CXX=clang++ OVERRIDE_CC=clang
MESS:              make -j5 SUBTARGET=mess OVERRIDE_CXX=clang++ OVERRIDE_CC=clang
TINYMAME-Example: make -j5 TARGET=mame SUBTARGET=tinymame SOURCES=src/mame/namco/rallyx.cpp REGENIE=1 OVERRIDE_CXX=clang++ OVERRIDE_CC=clang
ARCADE MAMEUI:     make -j5 OSD=winui SUBTARGET=arcade OVERRIDE_CXX=clang++ OVERRIDE_CC=clang   NOTE: This version needs the extra winui files from

Note: Ignore the error messages at the end of the Linking process:
----> libstdc++.a(bad_alloc.o): duplicate section `.rdata$_ZTSSt9exception[__ZTSSt9exception]' has different size
      This is a MAME source problem.
