Hi All,

Just FYI, I'm going to be doing some personal research into building
Csound for 64-bit (just bought a Windows 10 computer).  I'm currently
looking at using Cygwin with mingw64 compilers and other tools from
the Cygwin repos.  I have installed VS2015 community edition and will
look at that afterwards.  I'm still working on OSX and Linux as usual,
but it looks like I will be shifting more towards Windows this year.
I'm looking at automated scripts to assist building dependencies and
csound; if something comes of this, I will push it to the develop
branch (the initial setup is similar to the toolchain files and
scripts found in the mingw-linux directory).

And just another FYI, after fussing with Cygwin I remembered why I had
been using msys/mingw for so long.  I'm testing out msys2/mingw64 now
with slightly better results and will pursue that plan for now.

Thanks Rory!  Yeah, I continued on with msys2 this morning and I'm
impressed.  The repositories for mingw64 and msys2 have a lot of the
dependencies we use available through Pacman.  I just got to compiling
and am now failing on linking (looks like I might have to adjust CMake
to include flac/ogg/etc. that sndfile requires, as it looks like it's
doing static linking...).  Anyways, an encouraging start!  I'll try to
document what I did once I get it working.

Thanks for that information Stephen, it'll be handy once I get to
looking into it.

All best!
