Failed to build on Windows with GCC target

[rucoder]

I tried to install cargo-geiger on my machine

1. OS: win 10 pro 64 bit
2. rustc toolchain

$ rustup toolchain list stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu (default) nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

It is probably related to libssh2-sys crate or cc create but i did not see it in my projects so reporting it here

the build log is attached

Your message is formatted unreadably. Can you please fix the formatting.

[rucoder]

I apologize for messy formatting. Can I attach a build log as a file here? I couldn't find a right button

the error message is

Just put whatever you want to attach in triple backticks: put ``` before and after the text

[rucoder]

And I just switched to msvc target and I can build without any problems. It seems some INCLUDE is missing in a build.ts

[anderejd]

Related to: #84

It seems like Cargo requires MSVC on Windows, we should probably add that to the known issues list.

I just dug Win10 ISO from M$ for free.. down the rabbithole I go :)

Rust does offer toolchain for gnu thus cargo should be fine with it and related to ssh2 I saw Alex addressing it as ssh related to it so gcc should be good...
