well it worked before, we faced a break on windows platform on master
but it was fixed later in the day.

Yes I just observed that, the last heartbeat was near :

I gave+1, maybe a bug could be open to track those changes

While I am here, I suggest developers or maintainers who are pushing
changes related to build,
to add a "build" topic using gerrit (click on notepad  icon in middle of
the page)
this way it can be filtered and reviewed more efficiently:
https://gerrit.iotivity.org/gerrit/#/q/status:open+AND+topic:build

Thanks again for support and good luck
