MSYS2 - makepkg error pkgname not allowed to begin with a hyphen

I'm trying to build tesseract on msys2, and I'm following the directions here:

tesseract compiling instructions

I've installed the dependencies listed there, and I've created the PKGBUILD file that's provided in the link above. WHen I run makepkg, I get the error:

==> ERROR: pkgname is not allowed to start with a hyphen.

I'm not sure what's going on here. Can anybody help? Apologies if this is a bit basic

Use makepkg-mingw for creating packages from mingw-w64 PKGBUILDs (pkgbase starts with mingw-w64-${_realname}).
