Ben, Jason Do you have an estimation of CPU resources required for a Windows buildslave? Do they have to be available 24/7 or would a say, 12h window suffice? Would a Pentium G3260 cut it or is an i-class CPU required to complete the build jobs within a useful timeframe?
How hard is the VS2005 or VS2008 requirement? In the build environment instructions link Ben posted, VS2012 is mentioned as an option for AFSVER_CL. VS2012 is the oldest I can easily get my hands on through our Dreamspark subscription. I think if VS version can be tackled, the rest of the build requirements are of a non-issue. How does one BUILD a buildslave for Windows after setting up the build environment? Is there any rundown for this? Regards, -K.
