Re: Update Windows binaries

Ah.  Thanks Vasily!  I pushed some more changes, both builds are producing an msi now.  Unfortunately, both are also still producing the error

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:Program Files (x86)MeldMeld.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in
an unusual way
Please contact the application's support team for more
information.

I'm wondering why I'm getting a Visual C++ error, if these are mingw.  I think I've still got some wires crossed somewhere.

I think that for building from gitlab it should be set not to file name but to full url: like https://gitlab.gnome.org/keeganwitt/meld/raw/meld-3-18-mingw/appveyor-mingw.yml

I got it to build locally (though Meld exits with "application requested runtime to terminate in an unusual way" after it's installed. On Appveyor it still fails with "error: invalid command 'bdist_msi'" for some reason. I tossed what I have so far into https://gitlab.gnome.org/keeganwitt/meld/tree/meld-3-18-mingw.
