Why not use the native Windows frontend?

The framebuffer frontend is totally unsuitable for use on systems that
have a full-featured window manager.

What issues? Please provide the exact build output.

If you really want to build the framebuffer frontend, then you want
"make TARGET=framebuffer".

Again, please provide the exact build output. Without it, there's
nothing we can do to help.
