Hi again, another thought:
RJ was at one time working on Windows cross-compiling from Linux. Where
did that leave off, RJ?
IMHO, spending the time getting that working would be more fruitful
since it would be MUCH easier for us to maintain. The only downside is
that Windows users would need

That's true of course.

Great idea, that's what I'm waiting for :) The Windows code is barely tested
due to lack of contributors and a missing CI environment. On the other hand
the Windows user base seems to be big.
In the past I've used a VM, no cross compiling. A VM is still a native
Windows installation where you
Yes, setting up a build env on windows will stay harder than on other
systems.
Virtual machine and cross compilation are attractive ideas, but will
remain harder for our users that want to try compiling Mixxx and
involves more system knowledge (needing setting up a virtualization

Hi Sébastien,
any work, that simplifies the Windows building would be great.
However. I am afraid that Windows will remain the hardest build
environment. This is a bad situation facing that a mayority of users are on
Windows.
An instant build environment for windows would help a lot.

Hi all,
Our Linux build env is easy to setup: just install a few -devel and
build tools packages included in the distribution and you're done.
On the other hand, our windows build env is really hard to set up. You
need to install the build tools (Microsoft visual studio, nsis, wix,
...), but
