Matplotlib is greyed-out on AppVeyor

[ocefpaf]

Is that correct? Are we not building matplotlib o Windows?

There haven't been any matplotlib builds since we moved the AppVeyor into the conda-forge account I suppose.

I guess we need to re-start it manually. I just did that and it is in the queue.

I just realized that there is no appveyor.yml here. I guess that the skip win64 is skiping everything.

re-rendering doesn't give us the appveyor? Hmmm

Nope.

Ah: I remember doing this now: https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-smithy/blob/master/conda_smithy/configure_feedstock.py#L97

In order to reduce the number of fetches, I only pulled win-64, and didn't inspect both. The question is: shall I fix that, or put some effort into fixing the matplotlib build...

Definitely the latter!

Might also be worth pulling in @JanSchulz who seems to have successfully done this in the matplotlib repo: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/ci/conda_recipe/meta.yaml

I think that was mostly matplotlib/matplotlib@a1678f2 which is basically what is now in the conda-smithy to work around the same problem with missing vscvall files?

Here is the PR which enabled it in mpl: matplotlib/matplotlib#5629

Now we have some builds.

We are building Windows now. (Although we are still missing x86 Arch on PY27 and PY34.)
