Yeah, but you need all build dependencies on Windows, and that is more difficult than on many other systems. The PHP SDK binary tools ship several necessary tools, but of course you could get them by other means. However, the libraries are more of an issue. vcpkg has a lot of these, but some are completely missing (e.g. libxpm), and some packages are even on older versions than we currently use for Windows builds. The prebuilt Windows dependencies[1] mostly lack potentially required CMake config-file packages. All this can be fixed as appropriate, but I wouldn't try to address that right away, and I think we want to ship Windows binaries with the feature set that we currently have.
