ov50 - appveyor.yml changes

[rgleason]

Attempt to compile for Windows Opencpn mui4.99.1408 with necessary changes to appveyor using MSVS 2017 and wxWidgets 3.1.2. There may be other changes required to this and other files.

Use of "snprintf" in a number of files causes errors. I can not fix.

Search for:
#define snprintf _snprintf
Perhaps use:

#if _MSC_VER < 1700 
#define snprintf _snprintf
#endif

snprintf is used in
config.h
NIST.cpp
tinyxml.h
tinyxml.cppp
uuid.cpp
defs.h

Perhaps there is some easy way to solve this. I need some help here.

I am not merging until zero errors.

Thanks, not expected, but I've taken it as far as I could. I don't know how to fix these problems, can you give me some clue how?

This link makes me think that perhaps sourceforge was slow again and switched to try to compile x64!
Automattic/node-canvas#619

I am going to try a small change to force appveyor to compile again. Is there an easier/quicker way to force another compile?

Perhaps someone removed this file? PVW32Con.exe from sourceforge?

cd c:\project\weatherfax_pi
cd buildwin

After looking at sourceforge, there is a package file now. This path in the plugin seems quite old for some reason....

It still fails with the same failures. I have to stop now and leave this for someone else to fix.
