Does libmesh support compiling on Windows platform? If so, what is the compile command?

If you've got a solid POSIX environment set up; it's still just configure; make. It's been a very long time since I've done that (with Cygwin; I haven't even tried WSL), though; if you do and you run into issues please resport them. I certainly wouldn't call this "supported", but it's at least something that shouldn't be far from working.

If you don't quite have a POSIX environment in Windows? There were some contributions last year in that direction - e.g. #3148 - but I don't know if it ever got into complete working order.
