The default tar in the path withing the CI environment is not
the bsdtar variation of tar that comes with Windows (the one
which will extract zip files as well as tar files).
Try using powershell instead for the extraction instead.
move out-of-date hints files to the outdated folder.
rename the hints files, and hints/include files that are currently
named *.2020 to *.370 (next release number).
rename sys/winnt to sys/windows
move vs (visual studio) folder out of win/win32 and into sys/windows
rename include/ntconf.h to include/windconf.h
rename winnt.c to windsys.c
place visual studio projects into individual subfolders.
This will hopefully resolve GitHub issue #484 as well.
On some platforms this may require:
make spotless
make fetch-lua
I did attempt to force a reminder message about the latter to
Makefile.top this time, and hope that works correctly for everyone.
Removed some of the temporary changes necessary due to 4 hour delay.
Added the specification of the working directory to avoid the change
in working directory behavior that occurs when checking out one
repository vs. two.
If checking out a single repository, the repository is checked out
to the path $(Agent.BuildDirectory)\s instead of
$(Agent.BuildDirectory)\s\<name of repository>. Modified checkout
to hard code path to avoid this change in behavior.
