There is also option to use msys2 which i demonstrated in my fork (poor me i worked on master) https://github.com/SGOrava/RadixEngine Results of this conquest can be found here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/SGOrava/radixengine/build/Radix%20master-28

For build which will use visual studio it might be good to use/create prebuild binaries and use them instead of building everything, it will take extremely long time to compile which could be used only to have midnight builds.

@SGOrava Very nice. Do you want to create a pull request or should I copy the file to a new branch?

It is little more than just CI config. Some work needs to be done with threads, i never tested if that works, i only made it able to compile, will test later.

Also i might try to force it to build new vs project / solution / environment.

#   - Minimal appveyor.yml file is an empty file. All sections are optional.
#   - Indent each level of configuration with 2 spaces. Do not use tabs!
#   - All section names are case-sensitive.
#   - Section names should be unique on each level.
