[Build] Implement CI for MacOS via appveyor

ShootingKing-AM commented 2 years ago

Since earlier CI (#1003), we missed out on MacOS builds, this PR implements MacOS builds via Appveyor.

Appveyor vs Github Actions (MacOS)

Appveyor provides 3 OS Imags for MacOS, viz.,

macOS 11.5.2 "Big Sur"
macOS 10.15.7 "Catalina"
macOS 10.14.6 "Mojave"

and GitHub actions provides only 2 OS Images, viz.,

macOS 11
macOS 10.15

and with given instructions on wiki, i couldn't find a way to build Amxmodx on MacOS > 10.14. MacOS officially drops support for 32bit binaries from 10.15 onwards (even Developer Commandline tools dosent have i386 libs). Anyways if anyone can find a method to build amxmodx on MacOS > 10.14, i can try to convert it into Github Actions.

With that being said, Present Build matrix is,

MacOS Runners

MacOS Runners	Image	Compiler
Appveyor MacOS job	`macOS 10.14.6 "Mojave"`	`apple-clang version 11.0`
BuildBot MacOS Slave	`macos-10.14`	`apple-clang version 11.0`

Linux Runners

Linux Runners	Image	Compiler
Github Actions	`linux-ubuntu-latest-gcc` (on this date)	- gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1\~20.04) 9.3.0 - g++ (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0
Github Actions	`linux-ubuntu-latest-clang` (on this date)	clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1
Github Actions	`linux-ubuntu-18.04-gcc-6`	- gcc-6 (Ubuntu 6.5.0-2ubuntu1\~18.04) 6.5.0 20181026 - g++6 (Ubuntu 6.5.0-2ubuntu1~18.04) 6.5.0 20181026
Github Actions	`linux-ubuntu-18.04-clang-3.9`	clang version 3.9.1-19ubuntu1 (tags/RELEASE_391/rc2)
BuildBot Linux Slave	-	clang version 3.8

Windows Runners

Windows Runners	Image	Compiler
Appveyor Windows job	`Windows 2012`	msvc version _MSC_VER 1900 `msvc++v14.00 1900` `Visual Studio 2015v14.0`
Github Actions	`windows-windows-2016-msvc++14.16-vs2017-cl`	msvc version 1916 - Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.16.27045 for x86 `MSVC++14.16 (Visual Studio 2017v15.9)`
Github Actions	`windows-windows-latest-msvc` (on this date)	msvc version 1929 - Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.29.30133 for x86 `MSVC++14.29 (Visual Studio 2019v16.10+16.11)`
BuildBot Windows Slave	-	msvc version _MSC_VER 1900 `MSVC++14.0 Visual Studio 2015v14.0`

Appveyor now builds for MacOS along with the earlier set Windows Build - msvc++v14.00 1900 Visual Studio 2015.

Changes Pertaining to Windows build job in Appveyor

Updated py version from 27 to 38
Removed Powershell Start-FileDownload dependency to download mysql pakage (using curl in cmd instead)
Caching is disabled for now for donwloading dependencies, since we are using a script(windows cmd) to download deps, we need to implement more code to conditionally check if deps exist, if exists, dont download deps again, else build errors @ move L56 (folder mysql, restored from cache, already exists) (todo)
