i'm afraid for installing things it won't change anything, your build will just be faster once you're done installing things :) probably the main roadblock here is legal, since we can't just make a Windows VM image with everything pre-installed available for download, for obvious reasons. we could bundle together the requirements that we are allowed to re-distribute in a zip file for downloading, but bundling Cygwin in this way is likely not a good idea, and other than that there are just make, ant and junit, so not much benefit... > I saw an awesome project to help create a Visual-Studio 2013 > project, but I > am guessing that's just for editing & symbols, not for building nativly > on Windows, > right ? i haven't used the IDE generation stuff myself, i think you can also build with that but guess it will just be a button that invokes make to do the actual build. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
