"No rule to make target..." installation error on Windows

Almost the same error:

I'm not very familiar with that script (my apologies: libMesh builds on Windows aren't in CI or really supported, we just don't turn down third-party patches from people who've suffered to get it working anyways), but since it's using git ls-files to get the list of symlinks, and since you're hitting a failure in a git submodule, is it possible that we're just failing to recurse into submodules when we should be? Our contributor wouldn't have noticed at the time, because when that script was written we hadn't yet replaced our copy of Eigen with a submodule hash.

Resolved by using another libmesh version.
