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.
What are our legal oportuities to provide a working Win10 virtual machine
Image?
If that isn't allowed, can we provide a batch file, that can be run on a
virgin Win10?
An other Idea (l think Uwe has done some research) is to setup a cross
compile environment on Linux.

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity planning
reports. http://sdm.link/zohomanageengine
