Hi all

I just added patch with instructions how to build Win64 version of PCB 
(git or tarball version) under windows (using MSYS2 Mingw64) - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/1816262

Maybe it will attract win-only people to use various branches of PCB.

It is as easy as configure - make - make install, except one point:

There is conflict in defined macros - some of them are defined in both 
windows header files and PCB header files. Healing instructions are 
included in build recipes.

Maybe it's time to consider to add namespace to all defined macros in 
PCB sources... (I know, people maintaining their own branches will be 
unhappy, but it happened already at least once and we all survived it).

In combination with TinyCAD (patch for TinyCAD imports is somewhere in 
launchpead) it can be fairly usable.

Milan
