FastRGF executables not found on Windows about rgf HOT 4 CLOSED

@scolemann Hhhm, it's very strange, because

1. Windows can resolve the filename without .exe,
2. we have tests on Windows which works well.

Anyway, thanks for your information! Can you please also provide the version of Windows you are using?

I walked through the code and the file not found Exception occurred on line 189:
os.chmod(path_train, os.stat(path_train).st_mode | stat.S_IXUSR | stat.S_IXGRP | stat.S_IXOTH)

If you call an exe, you can exclude the ".exe", but my assumption is that since we are performing an operation on a file we need the entire filename including extension.

While I have you, I also had another issue with FastRGF. Is it expected that we should have MinGW installed to run it? I had to install MSYS2 with the correct toolchain and then add the bin directory to my path.

I was in error. Since the Exception is passed, it's not an issue. I think in my troubleshooting of other issues (I had to create the .rgfrc file to get FastRGF to work) I thought this was an issue as I was debugging.

Oh, it makes things clearer!
Thank you very much for debugging! Great catch! I'll fix this soon.

I thought that MinGW is needed only in case of building from sources. Please, note that MinGW-w64 with POSIX threads is needed, not ordinary MinGW.
