Get CI for windows builds working #172

Open RadicalZephyr opened 5 years ago

RadicalZephyr commented 5 years ago

There are two broad routes here:

use AppVeyor
use Travis' new support for windows via Git Bash

For the AppVeyor route, building with MinGW is problematic because of a bug in rustc (I think?) that causes a linker error.

undefined reference to `_imp____acrt_iob_func'

This is apparently caused by a mismatch between mingw versions.

Discussions and possible workarounds I've found so far:
