Building on MinGW-64 and Cygwin/64

Folks

I am the maintainer of Exiv2 and we perform our Visual Studio builds on Appveyor. This was configured by a team member who is currently not available. I'd like to build on MinGW and Cygwin and can't get past the most basic step: what is the name of the image?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

init:
  - echo %PYTHON%

environment:
  PYTHON: "C:/Python37-x64"

  matrix:
    - APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE: MinGW-w64

      ARCHITECTURE: x86_64

      WEBREADY: False

install:
    - echo %APPVEYOR_BUILD_FOLDER%
    - python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
    - pip3.exe install lxml
    - for i in base-devel git coreutils dos2unix tar diffutils make                    \

   And now, I'll solve this puzzle in a similar way on Cygwin/64. There's no pacman on Cygwin/64 so will investigate this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9260014/how-do-i-install-cygwin....

   I have this "sort of" working. It's running the build on MinGW/msys2 and then on build on Cygwin64.

   I really want it to perform two different builds. How can I specify two build_script: objects?

   init:
     - echo %PYTHON%
   
   environment:
     PYTHON: "C:/Python37-x64"
   
     matrix:

         WEBREADY: False
         WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS: ON
   
   shallow_clone: true
   
   install:
       - echo %APPVEYOR_BUILD_FOLDER%
       - set "PATH=c:\msys64\mingw64\bin;c:\msys64\usr\bin;c:\msys64\usr\local\bin;"

   I've solved that. It's rather ugly. It works.

     - echo %PYTHON%

   Case closed. If anybody would like to suggest a better approach, I'll be very happy to hear your suggestions.
