Hi,

I will start working on a consolidation of the Windows Build software
requirements as given on
http://ooo-wiki.apache.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Windows:
- get rid of dependence on unicows.dll
This will have some impact wrt system requirements ? Which Windows
version will be affected by this change ?
-- take over issue 88652
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=88652) from Mathias and
perform the given tasks.
- get rid of dependence on instmsiw.exe and instmsia.exe
also this will iirc have some dependencies wrt system requirements, what
do you consider as minimum Windows baseline ? I would be fine with a XP
System SP2,
-- I did not find any reference to these files in the sources.
They come from the installer SDK,
On my system (Windows 7) I have done a build without them and
successfully installed this built version. Thus, I will provide a
corresponding patch which only removes the check for the existence of
these files in the configure script. I will ask others for
verification on their Windows system, if a build and a following
installation is still possible.
Please let me know, if somebody else is already working on these
things or if you have any remarks, pros, cons, ...
greetings,
Martin
