Cmake on windows build broken

[vadi2]

It seems to be currently broken in the release_30 branch and the closest I've got it to working is using the CMake GUI + MinGW makefiles:

The C compiler identification is GNU 4.8.1
The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.1

@keneanung is this something you could look into?

FTR I have been able to build with CMake in my alternative MSYS2+Mingw-w64 Windows 10 Development environment at home. So it might be feasible to try and flip build systems on AppVeyor. At present we are paying for a second concurrent build job so it might be informative to do a side-by-side comparison.

[vadi2]

Give it a go!

The second job was free though

@Delwing what was it you did to make cmake on windows work?

[Delwing]

@vadi2 Not entirely. There is some work done on this branch: https://github.com/Delwing/Mudlet/tree/cmake-windows-builds
