Regarding msys2, for those who use GitHub the big news is that since 7 days msys2 is by default installed on the windows-latest target of GitHub actions: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/commit/c61145f2de073f08e8ce5316e31cdf2a5e0ddaa5 https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/commit/c6114...
I'm doing all local development on Linux and since msys2 is there by default getting the windows compile done is a bliss. Just need to bring msys2 to your path and all the rest (git, g++, linking, etc) is the same as in your Linux env. E.g. this is my prefix for the cross-build https://gist.github.com/dominicletz/5e50c49aa1bf30d2485f5bece177c82f https://gist.github.com/dominicletz/5e50c49aa1bf30d2485f5bec...
- stinos 6y agoThis has been the case for a long time on Appveyor which was is one of the reasons we stick to it for CI. Do you happen to have experience with it? I'm wondering if and why we should switch to github actions, for the repositories we have on github anyway.
- dominicl 6y agoHaven't tried Appveyor so can't compare experience. I'm a travis convert came for Windows with my open source project. Just glancing at the Appveyor pricing chart I guess my open source project would only get one parallel job on Appveyor while on GitHub Actions it's unlimited.
