Target builds on Windows to /MACHINE:X86, as X64 crashes compilation

[OndrejValenta]

Actually, this is not needed. You can still keep X64 compilation but you have to do following..

• Use command line and not PowerShell!
• Install Microsoft C++ toolset, you don't have to go full C++ development, just the compilation toolset is fine
• Add this c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.37.32822\bin\Hostx64\x64\ or similar path (based on your installed version) to PATH environment variable, this will allow add cl.exe to path
• Before compilation run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat" which you should have by now. This setups all environment variables needed for compilation of C/++ code, including standard .h files

Now you can run, for example, mix deps.compile snappyer
