MinGW/MSYS too, please :)


Do you have any ideas how we could possibly automate this process?


MinGW/MSYS:
  "C:/path/to/msys/sh.exe" -c "/path/to/script" args
might be worth a try too (from a .bat or better yet a .cmd file):
  set COMSPEC="C:/path/to/MSYS/1.0/bin/sh.exe"
  C:/path/to/script args

Visual Studio:
  devenv solution.sln /build configuration
Although it now seems to be recommended to use MSBuild (presumably 
starting
with VS 2010?): 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xee0c8y7%28v=VS.90%29.aspx


There's jhbuild, but that would probably lead to trouble building 
different

configurations of the same module: MSYS+MinGW, MSYS+mingw-w64 32/64 bit
both preferably with detached debug symbols (if possible) and one or 
more VS

versions each in Release and Debug mode?

There's also the OSSBuild project that might be worthy of some 
attention:

http://code.google.com/p/ossbuild/

Sounds like a huge amount of work before we'd even be able to think 
about

integrating such a build tool with GNOME's buildbot (build.gnome.org).
Not to mention who'd be provided the necessary infrastructure and 
required
licenses, as it would probably be advisable not to rely on a single 
person

for all this?

mvg,
Dieter

Perhaps then you could take care of bug 614920 (gtk redefines
a system structure type).  Obvious patch in comment 4.

Just curious, when you guys mention VS, you mean:

- MSBuild?, to build with the command line (more prone to automation).
- VS Express? Or the non-free versions?

Cheers

In general, we are interested in improving the situation with respect to
Windows builds.

We'd like to do this in a more robust way (ie: done with every version
and posted on gtk.org ).  Ideally, this would be
automated.

It's worth noting that it's already relatively easy for us to do mingw
builds and indeed we have a full set of them in the Fedora archive.
