As you may know, Lars is leading an effort to modularize the build system. One of the big headaches we have is that Windows uses a completely separate configure.exe, leading to a lot of duplicated effort.
With the latest announcement from Microsoft, everything changes. Now that bash is natively supported, we will remove the ugly hack, and standardize on using the configure script for all platforms. The requirement for Windows 10 should not be a problem, since the upgrade is free anyway. We are finalizing the changes now, and aim to go live from 5.6.1. As a bonus, this should speed up the CI system for everyone, since we no longer have to test the obsolete Windows versions. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
