15# Appveyor Build
16
17Appveyor is capable of building MSVC 2010 through 2015 as well as
18having the latest MSYS2/MinGW 64-bit environment. It has many versions
19of boost and python installed as well. See what appveyor has
20[installed on build workers](https://www.appveyor.com/docs/installed-software/).
21
22We run a matrix build on Appveyor and build the following combinations:
23
24* MinGW x64 (gcc 6.3.0)
25* MSVC 2010 x86, an older boost, an older python
26* MSVC 2015 x86/x64, the latest boost, the latest python
27* MSYS2 x64 (gcc 6.3.0) - this is a work in progress

29The Appveyor script takes the first four letters from the PROFILE specified in
30the environment stanza and runs these scripts in order:
31
32????-appveyor-install.bat will install third party libraries and set up the environment
33????-appveyor-build.bat will build with cmake
34????-appveyor-test.bat will run ctest
