I've spent a while this weekend experimenting with getting anything to run
on Appveyor. So far it has... not gone great, though I'm unsure where the
problem lies.
I tried to use msys/mingw for installing GTK+ DLLs, since that seemed more
normal than our existing setup from the AIO installer. However, this has
not gone well and gives me Meld MSIs that don't e.g., include the main
Python DLL. I have no idea what's going on there. If it was possible to get
that going, then that feels like a more reproducible option, though... who
can say?
If anyone wanted to pick this up, my current progress is at:
https://github.com/meld/meld/tree/appveyor
and should be buildable with a free open-source appveyor account.
An alternative approach would be to try to duplicate the old build
environment using the system-installed Python and the GTK+ all-in-one
installer. This might be easier.
Also, if anyone *does* pick this up, be aware that file comparison just
won't work because of multiprocessing changes. If we can get a reliable
build, I can look at that.
cheers,
Kai
