Hi Eliot, hi all --
Cygwin seems to be kind of outdated. Many important packages are not maintained anymore. Only clang 8 is supported. Well, GitHub offers MSYS2, so I switched to that locally as well. Works like a charm. clang 15.05.
Agreed. I would happily move windows builds to the MSVC toolchain (which uses clang and which we use to build the Virtend VM). I do use gnu make from Cygwin to build when using the MSVC toolchain; nmake is too crappy. And I like using the Cygwin shell more than powershell. But I could be persuaded to switch over to powershell; not to nmake.
Best, Marcel
