It's failing when running `make` for the Installer. I am assuming the
Claws package will be built automatically by the Installer's makefile.

I tried doing this, but it said: libetpan not found. I think I need to
build the dependencies first. And 'gpgcore' is a dependency. I probably
could disable the plugin that requires it, but since you said you were
able to build Claws from the Win32 Installer, I don't see why I cannot.

Just to reiterate/clarify, these are the steps I've taken:

    $ cd /home/enan/projects/claws-mail-win32-4.1.1-1
    $ # I'm in Installer source directory
    $ cd packages/
    $ ./download.sh
    $ cd ..
    $ ./autogen.sh --build-w64
    $ make

I'm facing error in this 'make' step.
