Note
Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/windows-nightly-builds-broken.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

Windows nightly builds (.exe) are currently broken due to a bug with the libcurl dependency that got updated to v8.8.0 last weeks in MSYS2 package manager. The bug makes both Ansel and Exiv2 builds fail. I have gotten in touch with the libcurl team, waiting for an answer.
