I don't have Windows right now. I found out an easy way to test my development repository changes also under Wine. Lazarus runs amazingly well with Wine.
I installed the latest Lazarus release Windows version on Linux. It
opens with Wine automatically, no problems.
Then I ran a bash script (copied below and attached).
It deletes the source directories and replaces them with symbolic
links to my development sources.
Then I started the Windows version again. It complains about wrong
version and a missing package but that is OK.
Then I rebuilt it from Tools -> Configure Build Lazarus ... and I have
the latest Windows version of Lazarus running on Linux! Absolutely
cool. :)
I can check that my changes don't break the Windows version already
before committing them.
