This is why I suggested to postpone Windows support for now. :) The core dependencies for Windows builds are currently hosted at <https://github.com/winlibs>; some can be built using <https://github.com/winlibs/winlib-builder>. Of course, it would preferable to be able to build all the libs with CMake, instead of the current mix of self made or provided Makefiles, Visual Studio solutions, and what not. Christoph
