Bug report. Platform not support 'x86_64-w64-mingw32'. Thank you. about kahypar.jl

I guess this pretty much boils down to us currently not supporting Windows / mingw right now. @jalving Whats your take on this?

[jalving]

@SebastianSchlag That's correct. Has you ever successfully compiled a windows binary? It looks like you tried building on Appveyor but it failed to find Boost.

[SebastianSchlag]

The Aappveyor builds once worked, but I haven't maintained them for quite a while, since at some point Appveyor started to take more than an hour to build the project and the CI jobs then timed out.

I'll take a stab at compiling KaHyPar on a windows VM when I get a chance. If you have a MacOS build, we could also put that under https://github.com/jalving/KaHyParBuilder.

Additionally, Julia's binary support looks better than it was 2 years ago. They have pre-compiled packages for cmake and boost now which should speed up compilation. It might be possible to get KaHyPar to auto-build and host binaries.

Thank you.
I just move to Linux. Consider there may be other packages for my research that may not support windows so well in the future.
