Maybe a build server for windows builds will help? If there exists a
spare server (e.g. at redhat) I can setup automated windows builds there
(or write detailed instructions how to do it). It will take some time
though, and I'm not sure about Microsoft licensing issues (for windows
2000, windows 2003x64 and MSVS2003).
I don't know of any Windows machines at Red Hat :)
Mark Wielaard has a build infrastructure in place to which you could
attach a machine that was able to do a build when prompted. I don't
think anyone has ever tried it with Windows though. CCing him as he
knows much more info about it than me.
I think it (buildbot) should also work against Windows.
But you are right that till now we have only used it against
normal GNU/Linux slaves:
http://builder.classpath.org/icedtea/buildbot/buildslaves
I am afraid I am not a big help with Windows since I never used that
operating system. Easiest would be if we could setup a build using
a mingw cross compile and run the tests under Wine. I could probably
setup a slave that does that.
I'm doing windows builds on linux using headless virtualbox. Build
script fires guest machine, copies sources there, waits and copies built
results back to host. I can setup buildbot slave, but I haven't proper
machine for that right now.
Cheers,
Mark
