Can't build on Windows about nvui

[dseeni]

Same here...I'd like the artifact as well...current having issues with cmake https_proxy environment variable... fails to download open ssl...so I manually inserted it

Now I'm running up against this..not sure where to get old MYS packages for libwinpthread, etc...

I'm also hitting this wall. I'm really enjoying using the release build and wanted to try contributing, but this is preventing me from building. Is there a way to specify these libraries manually?

Are you on windows? rakanzaidm seemed to have got things working:

Been busy, still need to figure out what he did so I can incorporate some of the fixes on here into a fork :)

See the issue I referred to in the OP, which details the manual hack rakanzaidm did back in March for binutils. However, using the manual modification for multiple packages is unsustainable, as more packages are becoming deprecated with MSYS2's rolling release. These updated packages in turn have dependency implications. Ultimately, manually modifying the list of package versions would defeat the point of using vcpkg, which is supposed to help solve dependency hell.

In order to get this working, I think we need to figure out whether the issue is an upstream issue between vcpkg and boost, or whether there's something we need to change in the nvui build system. @rohit-px2, since you set up the build system, do you have any guesses or suggestions?
