Description Björn Michaelsen 2011-07-28 10:04:40 UTC 
=== Simplify the download of Windows dependencies ===

'''Background:''' Setting up the build environment on windows is very tricky - you have to know sources of many packages, download them one by one, and install them.

*setup Cygwin with all the dependencies in one go, like advised in http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2010-November/001932.html

*use http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks for download, it seems to work under cygwin

*let the developer accept the EULAS

*copy the needed files to src/ subdirectory

*See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32426 for some partial efforts

'''Skills:''' bash, basic Windows knowledge

This is mostly solved; together with

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Windows_Build_Dependencies

setting the Windows build is pretty straight-forward these days.

removing skillWindows keyword. There is no such thing at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks/lists/by_Required_Skill and having a "skill*" keyword makes the easyHack not even appear on that page even in "uncategorized".
