52+ Mapbase uses GitHub Actions to help manage issues and pull requests. Some of these workflows build the code of incoming
53+ contributions to make sure they compile properly. The code is compiled separately for Visual Studio 2022 and GCC/G++ 9 (Linux)
54+ and on both Debug and Release configurations.
55+
56+ If these workflows fail, don't freak out! Accidents can happen frequently due to compiler syntax differences and conflicts
57+ from other contributions. You can look at a failed workflow's log by clicking "Details", which will include the build's output
58+ in the "Build" step(s). Any errors must be resolved by you and/or by code reviewers before a pull request can be merged.
