General issue report

Is it possible to [make -C mpy-cross, make submodules] with the [ESP-IDF Windows Installer] for ESP32 or ESP8266 ? where to search related issue & solutions ?

No, it's not possible. To use GNU Make on Windows you need either an MSYS or Cygwin environment, and IDF installer doesn't install those.

At the same time, ESP-IDF no longer officially supports MSYS.

I think you can try getting your development environment set up in WSL, that should work with both micropython and Espressif SDKs.

As for a place to ask this question, I would recommend either Espressif or micropython forums.
