Building on windows - scons is trying to use Mingw32 about geodot-plugin

[kb173]

Hi! Sorry about that - we updated the README but forgot to push the change 😅 the updated instructions are there now: https://github.com/boku-ilen/geodot-plugin/tree/master#building-on-windows

For some reason, our dependencies made it really difficult to successfully build with MSVC, so we switched to only building for Windows from Linux using MinGW since that works very consistently. You can do that yourself via WSL, it should be fairly straightforward with the instructions in the README; alternatively, you can also see the actual scripted instructions here: https://github.com/boku-ilen/geodot-plugin/blob/master/.github/workflows/build-windows.yml if you don't want to make changes to Geodot and just use it, you can also just download the latest Windows build from that automated build action: https://github.com/boku-ilen/geodot-plugin/actions/workflows/build-windows.yml

I hope that helps; sorry again for the confusion, let me know if you need anything else!

Ah no problem! Thanks for your response.

Somehow I missed the fact that there were automated builds - my bad for not reading the readme properly!
