How do you compile this thing under Windows 10 / 64 bit? about auto-unlocker HOT 3 CLOSED

you can find all the info about compiling the software in the README.

The g++ compatibility is specified here:

Note regarding default g++ version on Ubuntu: by default, Ubuntu ships with g++ v7, which doesn't support natively c++17 features. To compile the program you have to install at least g++-8, set CXX variable when running make and add stdc++fs library dependence (make CXX=g++-8 LIBS=-lstdc++fs)

Alternatively, you can install g++-9 and avoid adding the library dependency.

I compiled it on windows with VC 2019 (there's a cmake file included that fully supports MSVC, you have to point it to your compiled libraries), although you should be able to compile it with mingw and cygwin too, after you install/compile the dependencies. As for your error, it's because cygwin is not a _WIN32 nor a __linux__ platform, and since you probably are using g++ then I guess it's just fine if you
#define __linux__
at the beginning of unlocker.cpp (don't do it)

My toolchain is set up to use mingw-64. The latest it version 7.4.0 it says:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/7.4.0/lto-wrapper.exe

gcc states:
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/8.3.0/lto-wrapper.exe
Target: x86_64-pc-cygwin

I think any newer versions would have to be manually compiled and installed. Too much work (!)
Someone else will eventually get around to adding version 9 to cygwin.

However, I'd much rather use VC 2019. So, I will go that route.

g++8 works, it only requires an additional linker dependency for filesystem library (-lstdc++fs). That's because fs was still experimental, although I tested it on ubuntu with both g++8 and g++9 and it works fine.
cygwin is another story. what I said earlier, i.e. to put a #define __linux__ in unlocker.cpp, is wrong and you should not do it because it will attempt to patch the linux files structure. you could try to go with #define _WIN32 but ultimately I suggest you to use mingw or even better visual studio.
