Does anyone have a windows build (preferably 64b) that includes the libIGES code that I can try?
I don’t know of any yet; I’ll try to find some people who are expert at building on MSWin and ask if they can provide something.
Thanks, I’m not set up to do my own builds
No luck finding a volunteer yet, but I’ll work on making it easy to build the tool in MSYS2. I have another project which builds and installs without any hassle in MSYS2 - if you’d like to check it out and follow the build instructions you could let me know how you go, and then I’ll also know if you’ll be able to build the IGES tools without problems.
I’ve attached the igs2idf tool and included the IDF files for the video demo project. There are a few people working on getting the tools to build on Windows (with MSVC and with MSYS) but there is a lot of work to do to clean up the code so that it will work well both on Linux and MSWin. Until the code is cleaned up and we resolve all the build issues on Windows there will be no automated build.

I managed to cross compile on linux for widows with gcc. I have put the result here: http://www2.futureware.at/~nickoe/libiges_cross_mingw.zip
I could run a couple of the exes with wine. I don’t know if the output was proper, I didn’t verify in detail.
The CMake control files can now be used to build libIGES, the test programs, and the idf2igs tool on MSWin using an MS compiler (MSVC 2013 in my case, but the free “Visual Studio Community Edition” should also work) or the GCC compiler in MinGW. I don’t have CLANG so I can’t speak for CLANG users.
The INSTALL instructions have also been updated and there are now sections on how to build on Debian based systems, MS Win with MSVC, and MS Win with MinGW/gcc.
