Problem: Opening a file from a netrw listing throws
"E471: Argument required: keepj keepalt 2wincmd 1" when
g:netrw_chgwin equals winnr('$')+1, e.g. after opening
:Lexplore (which sets g:netrw_chgwin=2) and closing the
sidebar, then browsing with :Explore in the remaining window.
s:NetrwBrowseChgDir builds the window jump as
"g:netrw_chgwin wincmd curwin", passing the saved window
NUMBER where wincmd expects its single-letter argument.
Solution: Jump back to the saved window with "curwin wincmd w", as the
surrounding comment intends; the following statement then
performs the actual jump to g:netrw_chgwin.
The faulty line dates back to at least Vim 9.0
(runtime/autoload/netrw.vim:4976 at v9.0.0000).
Reported (against the since-archived netrw repo) in
saccarosium/netrw.vim#98 and neovim/neovim#34169.
Note: no test, because the error reproduces only in Neovim.

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
