Cannot build on x86_64-pc-windows-gnu target.

[spector-9]

Expected Behaviour

For program to build without error just like it does on mac, linux or windows msvc target.

Actual Behaviour

I get compilation errors. Most probably related to the flag in build.rs that require msvc.

Steps to Reproduce

Just switch target to use gnu tool chain and it fails.

Platform and Version

Windows 11, rustc version = 1.67.0

Logs taken while reproducing problem

It shows the following error.

@spector-9 Windows is not my strong suit (and gnu on Windows especially so). I'll look into it as time permits, but if you or anyone else has the time to put together a PR for to address this, I'd be happy to review and merge it.

[spector-9]

@scouten-adobe Now I realize that the main fault lies with the original XMP-toolkit-sdk since that does not compile without visual studio. So while there might be a few changes required in the build.rs of this project, proper changes need to happen upstream.

[scouten-adobe]

@spector-9 that is out of my purview. I'd suggest going to the upstream repo and asking for build support there; if they do, we can try to follow here. Closing as won't support unless that happens.
