I've been using Bacula 3.0.3a for some years now on my home Windows-only network, but I would like to upgrade to a more recent version of the community version. I understand that more-recent pre-compiled Windows binaries (except for the FD) are no longer available for the community product, and Bacula Enterprise is too expensive for my needs. I do know that Bacula Systems also offers a Windows binary build for the FD, but I need to be able to run the SD & Dir on Windows as well.
Therefore, I think I am relegated to compiling my own binaries from the source. However, I don't have the time (or probably the knowledge/skill either) to create a full build environment from scratch here on my system. But since I can run virtual machines here, I was wondering if anyone has managed to produce a standalone VM system that is configured to compile Windows binaries from the community source? If I could just load up a working VM system image (even a non-Windows one) and supply it the current source code, I think that would be enough to allow me to compile the system that I need myself.
Does anyone know of such a standalone VM that is available for folks like me to use? Or does anyone have any better ideas for me to try? I tried searching the list archives, but I could only narrow it down to 21K+ messages for manual review, so I hope you'll forgive me if this has been asked and answered before.
