   Is there a webhook currently set on this repo for Pull Requests that could be used to trigger external builds?

   I’ve configured an appveyor Visual Studio 2017 build job in conjunction with #11526 and it would be nice to trigger it for new commits.

   @huhorler see #11526 for the instructions on how to acquire the Visual Studio solution and project files. They have only been submitted as a pull request at this stage so are not available in the main repository.

   If you just want to take a quick peek at them you can use the git command below from your Bitcoin Core repo.

   git pull origin pull/11526/head

   @huhorler windows was initially supported (satoshi was developing on Visual Studio). My guess is that it has been dropped in favor of autotools which is easier way to generate cross plateform binaries. Having to support both autotool build + msvc might have been a burden that the devs, mostly linux guys, did not wanted to bother with.

   This however exclude lot’s of potential contributors as well as impact general productivity. @sipsorcery way seems to not be a big burden to maintain though.

   @huhorler This issue trackers is for discussing software changes and issues, not for user support.

   Will attempt to find an alternative to the github webhooks to detect new commits. Probably need a polling script.
