Windows maintainer required

[375gnu]

We don't have any windows maintainer

Hi, I am not that skillful in Windows, but at least I can test the build regularly. What is the plan for Windows though? Are you planning to support both the MSVC build and MINGW build?

By the way, the suggested way to install qt5 through vcpkg is not working, due to this bug microsoft/vcpkg#7313. I have to download the qt5 library directly to build Celestia. Sometimes vcpkg is pretty annoying to work with.

Hi @dlshcbmuipmam !

Even if you can just test our builds, especially pull requests so we are get notified about any issues on Win platform before we merge, it would be great.

Personally I have Qt installed using its installer in my VM.

Ok, minimally I will test the builds in release configuration with pull requests via the VS2017 compiler, and report if there is any issues.

Looks like we lost @dlshcbmuipmam

@nmoschkin @ironywrit (which account are you using?) please join the Celestia development team!

Well, I guess this is me now.

I had started to work on it ... but I am suddenly so very crunched for time.  I've been brought in to assist another team, at work. If you ever need a hand with coding something specific, just let me know.

Hi @ironywrit! I'm not actually a programmer, just a Windows user who's been contributing to development. My comment just meant that I can test the Windows builds. If you can help with development that would be great!

If u have time & desire, u can always pick up any issue tagged as "windows",

[ghost]

Well ... the problem with that is some of the issue require a vast amount of changes (I've already looked at them) and I don't have any time...
