This really needs to be addressed, but having the build green so we can spot quickly if other issues are introduced seems more productive than leaving it red for a long time. I've also added 64-bit CI builds for mingw64 and MSVS 2017.

I tried a MSVS 2015 64-bit build but that seemed to result in programs linked to libxapian failing on start-up with no error message. 32-bit builds with MSVS 2015 and 2017 work fine with the remote backend and replication.

hi, Olly Betts,
Thank you for you answer.
My xapian version is 1.2.8.
Need I upgrade it to 1.4 if I want to build it with MSVC2017 x64?

I've disabled honey in these builds for now. This really needs to be
addressed, but having the build green so we can spot quickly if other
issues are introduced seems more productive than leaving it red for a
long time.
I've also added 64-bit CI builds for mingw64 and MSVS 2017. The former
works with the remote backend enabled (the 64-bit SOCKET issue is
actually not a problem in practice it seems) but the latter fails with
what looks like a NULL pointer access in replication tests (the remote
backend and replication use the same network code).
I tried a MSVS 2015 64-bit build but that seemed to result in programs
