We explicitly support dev tools (in Makefile) for Linux Ubuntu by running them with Ubuntu in our CI workflow. This combined with maintainers using Mac OS's to develop means that dev tools are well supported for Linux and Mac. But, dev tools are not well supported for Windows.
In CI_win.yml we run the matrix build on Windows and Linux, but we exclude Windows from some of the steps. Including Windows would better support dev tools for Windows.
This may mean making some adjustments to the dev tools themselves, e.g. determining the OS and conditionally setting filepath syntax at runtime.
