gmp does not support msvs build

[grimaz]

Hello,

it seems GMP requires MSYS2 to be build on Windows. Does not support MSVS toolchain.
So, could it be skipped or some workaround proposed to finalize package compilation?\

Kind regards.

Remill also doesn't support an MSVC build, you will be wasting your time trying to compile it that way.

thank you for the reply.

gmp can be pulled from the vcpkg ports
remill is a pain at the moment because of 80-bit floats requirement.
clang with -mlong-double-80 fails because can not mimic clang-cl command line: produces a.exe instead of $module$.exe during configuration phase.
Probably can be solved with a custom clang-cl compilation but it seems you are right and it will be wasting of time.

Yeah I wrote my own vcpkg alternative with superbuild structure because I do not like vcpkg, it's way too bloated. Building GMP should be possible, but our idea was to use an ABI-compatible single-file alternative (will try to find it).
