Precompiled GSL nuget for appveyor

[ghost]

Hello,

Can we please prepare a nuget package for GSL for windows builds?
A nuget package for GSL removes one nuisance variable from our CI servers.
(Minimize variability between builds for CI benchmark)

Thanks,
coast

definitely that would be great. I already checked, but there seem to be no prepared package yet. Do you know how to do that and publish to nuget?

I will investigate the nuget process.
need a refresher, but ive done it before

[zebastian]

Thanks, glad you are into this.

Hi Robert, just send you an invitation for appveyor. There you can login with github and Start manual builds of the current State.

@zebastian Got invitation, I will investigate.
Is it possible to enable GIT hook to always trigger Appveyor build foreach new commit?

@buddhi1980 I believe we need access to the githooks for buddhi/mandelbulber2

Every time you push changes into repo <-- not operational?
or
click the New build button
or
use chron table * * * * * for build schedule <-- temp workaround

I have tried to install your nuget gsl package in Visual Studio 2015. I'm getting this error:

Could not install package 'gsl-msvc14-x64 2.2.1.2577'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'native,Version=v0.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

I will investigate whats going on here.

resolved with ampl/gsl#17

@buddhi1980 We need to get the "Continuous" essence of our "Continuous Integration" operational on Appveyor. What are your thoughts on triggering an Appveyor build with every new commit? I do not have access to the GIT hooks to enable true CI for Appveyor.
