Hi Texinfo Team,
I am automating the Texinfo build process in Perl via my new
Alien::Texinfo software:
https://github.com/wbraswell/alien-texinfo
This build process works successfully on most operating systems, but a
few notable exceptions exist.
Using the AppVeyor testing platform for Microsoft Windows, we see an
odd error: _funs.h] Error -1073741515_
The full build log can be seen at the link below, and for convenience
I have pasted the context around this error:

Googling for this error, I find no exact matches, and few helpful
inexact matches. The best comes from StackOverflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35672893/error-1073741515-when-executing-c-from-php
_When you convert the error code -1073741515 to hex, you get
0xC0000135, which is "The Application failed to initialize properly."
This can have a variety of causes, including missing DLLs. Download
Depends.exe from Microsoft to see if you're missing some DLLs._
Please help?
Thanks!~ Will 'the Chill' Braswell
