Build example on Windows

[justlearn2140]

Hello, long time no see,

A while ago, I was working on webkit-related development on Linux, but I found that it doesn't work on Windows.

Currently, I'd like to address two aspects:

Firstly, I would like to compile webkit on Windows, as discussed in #927. I didn't end up using the #WEBVIEW_EDGE approach.

Secondly, I have Visual Studio 2022 and MSYS2 installed on my Windows machine. I've followed the examples on the website, but I'm still unable to compile successfully. I'm not sure where the issue lies and would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Thank you very much.

What OS are you using (uname -a, or Windows version)?

Windows Server 2022 Standard

What programming language are you using (C/C++/Go/Rust)?

#gcc --version
gcc.exe (Rev7, Built by MSYS2 project) 13.1.0

What did you expect to see and what you saw instead?

I made the following changes in basic.cc
w.navigate("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebView");
//w.set_html("Thanks for using webview!");

A. Then, I compiled and ran basic.exe in MSYS2. But the window that popped up was entirely white, and the wiki page didn't appear.

#Windows/MinGW
g++ basic.cc -std=c++14 -mwindows -Ilibs/webview -Ilibs/webview2/build/native/include -ladvapi32 -lole32 -lshell32 -lshlwapi -luser32 -lversion -o build/basic.exe && "build/basic.exe"

B. The same issue occurred in the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022 environment. After compiling and running the file, it still didn't load the wiki page; it remained all white.

#[Bonus for Visual C++]
Build a C++ example:

C:\WebView\my-project>cl basic.cc /std:c++14 /EHsc /Fobuild\ ^
More? /I libs\webview ^
More? /I libs\webview2\build\native\include ^
More? /link /OUT:build\basic.exe
