... and the core issue with that is the number of different configs we support even on Windows. While that makes some sense on Linux, where each distro is a unique snowflake in some way, it makes very little sense on Windows, where most things should be the same on all systems. Or at least _could_ be the same on all systems. I mean, we could have a tinderbox run "./autogen.sh && make vs2013-ide-integration" once a week and make it commit the result Visual Studio solutions to the core repo. Note this does _not_ need a full build anymore, so should be a matter of minutes. But for those to work universally, it requires tooling that reproduces pretty much exactly as on the canonical tinderbox that created the solutions, including: - SRCDIR - BUILDDIR - cygwin install LODE did some great steps in that direction, but I fear is not quite there yet. If you get Windows builds to kill all those degrees of freedom, then this should work just fine (including pre-build 'external'). So again: This is less of an build issue, than one of configuration management.
