Now, you _can_ replicate a build machine [by examining it from a build script, uploading custom stuff somewhere](https://travis-ci.community/t/linking-against-ncurses-no-package-from-chocolately-yet/1030/4?u=native-api) (I did that to diagnose problems with their stock scripts) and arranging non-custom stuff the same way.

Then you should be able to somehow use [https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-build](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-build) to generate a job script from `.travis.yml` and run it in that replicated environment…

But if getting a project to build on a local machine is too hard for you, this will likely be too hard, too.
