deploying to github releases from travisci-windows

[jfmherokiller]

this post will be kind of short but basicly the trick to getting it to work requires travis.yml file that looks like

language: cpp
notifications:
  email: false
matrix:
  include:
  - os: osx
    osx_image: xcode11.3
    addons:
      homebrew:
        packages:
        - sdl2
        - sdl2_gfx
        - sdl2_image
        - sdl2_net
        - sdl2_mixer
    script: "./build.sh"
    cache:
      directories:
      - "$HOME/Library/Caches/Homebrew"
    before_cache:
    - brew cleanup
    deploy:
      provider: releases
      api_key: $MyOoth 
      file_glob: true
      file: "build-*.zip"
      skip_cleanup: true
  - os: linux
    dist: bionic
    addons:
      apt:
        packages:
        - libsdl2-dev
        - libsdl2-mixer-dev
        - libsdl2-net-dev
        - libsdl2-gfx-dev
        - libsdl2-image-dev
    script:
    - pip install cmake
    - "./build.sh"
    deploy:
      provider: releases
      api_key: $MyOoth 
      file_glob: true
      file: "build-*.zip"
      skip_cleanup: true
      on:
        repo: <repo here>
  - os: windows
    before_install:
    - |-
      case $TRAVIS_OS_NAME in
        windows)
          [[ ! -f C:/tools/msys64/msys2_shell.cmd ]] && rm -rf C:/tools/msys64
          choco uninstall -y mingw
          choco upgrade --no-progress -y msys2

          export PATH=/C/tools/msys64/mingw64/bin:$PATH
          export MAKE=mingw32-make  # so that Autotools can find it
          ;;
      esac
    before_cache:
    - |-
      case $TRAVIS_OS_NAME in
        windows)
          # https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/137322/107554
          $msys2 pacman --sync --clean --noconfirm
          $msys2 rm /C/tools/msys64/var/log/pacman.log
          ;;
      esac
    cache:
      directories:
      - "$HOME/AppData/Local/Temp/chocolatey"
      - "/C/tools/msys64"
    script:
    - mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=mingw32-make -G "MSYS Makefiles"
    - mingw32-make && tar -zcf /C/build-windows.zip BruxRelease 
    deploy:
      provider: releases
      api_key: $MyOoth 
      file_glob: true
      file: "C:/build-windows.zip"
      skip_cleanup: true
      on:
        repo: <repo Name here>

branches:
  except:
  - legacy
  - experimental
  - /^untagged/

The magic here involves making sure to place the build file for windows in a path you can refrence. Thats why i placed it in the C:/ path
