[Feature Request] Release Binaries for windows

[bharatvaj]

Hi, first of all thanks for bringing latest mpc.exe via github actions. I have added a package for mpc in scoop (ScoopInstaller/Extras#8548) and it points to the prebuilt 0.22 version from https://www.musicpd.org/download/mpc/0. As artifacts are temporary, I am not able to package a more recent version. Is there any way release binaries be provided for windows?

I'm not sure how the artifacts are uploaded there, but perhaps the merged PR #89 helps with providing the Windows executables.

You can download mpc.exe from GH actions - every successful build contains an mpc.exe artifact.
Click https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/mpc/actions/workflows/build.yml and then click on any successful build.

Thanks @bogglez and @MaxKellermann for responding, sorry I could'nt reply to it sooner. The problem with taking from GH actions is that it expires after a certain amount of time, making it unsuitable for usage with package managers(like scoop) that doesn't have their own hosting. Would it be possible to create tagged releases with binaries after a GH action is done?

That way scoop will be able to get these binaries by just bumping up the version in the package manifest file. I use mpc enough to work on this and I would be glad to setup binary releases.

I get errors when trying to run latest mpc.exe on WIndows 10. Missing 2 DLLs: ucrtbased.dll and VCRUNTIME140D.dll
Tried downloading the libraries but it didn't work.

Please tell me how to compile the x86 version of the mpc.exe file?

This is off-topic here, and it's already documented in the README file.
