Windows Build for python-magic

[rluria14]

Issue: Is it possible to get a windows build for python-magic?

It is required as a dependency for CKAN and is holding up the WIN build.

@rluria14 You need to fist build libmagic for win-64. Feel free to open a pull request on https://github.com/conda-forge/libmagic-feedstock to get that going.

@mariusvniekerk Will do. Thanks.

Just FTR to save time for others, libmagic-feedstock migrated into file-feedstock (but no mentioning of that in README, so had to spent time to figure out what is going on). The Windows build issue was transferred to conda-forge/file-feedstock#3

oh, and I was pointed to the fact that there is m2-file package (recipe: https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes/blob/master/msys2/m2-file/meta.yaml) from msys2 channel... 3 yo and contains:

I wonder if it could be used for this feedstock to build on windows... sending out a blind #13

This is also blocking use of diffoscope on windows, which would be very useful for where diffing files/artefacts is necessary in a cross-platform way.
