How to build CDDLib.jl on Windows ✅

For my current project, I’d like to run CDDLib.jl on a Windows system. Currently, I get the following error message when trying to build the library.

(v1.1) pkg> build CDDLib

See also this issue: #46. Since it is in my own interest, I am willing to put effort into making it work. But currently, I am a bit at loss with where to even start.

Do you have experience with similar issues? I am glad for any pointers.

The issue has been fixed.

I just wanted to thank @blegat, @staticfloat, benlorenz, @juan-pablo-vielma for their work and support with this issue. Once again, I am amazed by how great this community is. Thanks you all!
