I believe it has been mentioned, but I am not clear on what the precise
conclusion is:
What is the oldest Windows OS version that Apache OOo 3.4(-dev) will be
supported on? How does that compare with the oldest Windows OS version that
the last stable release (3.3.0?) of OpenOffice.org is supported on? (If there
is a JRE dependency, that is another variant to consider.)
OOo 3.3.0 (or 3.x in general) see here:
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_30.html
OOo 3.4-dev:
I don't know of any changes.
AOO 3.4:
Hm, no release yet. Let's discuss/decide what we want. ;-)
From there I think the low end of the range of configurations to test Windows
installs on is determined. I know one dev who still has Windows 95 and Office
6.0/97 running. I can probably smoke test in a VM with Windows 98 SE, if I
still have a disk somewhere. I can try Windows 2000 also, but nothing older
than those.) What I won't want to do is builds. But if someone has a build I
can do simple install-success/-fail tests.

Afterthoughts:
(Of course it might install on an unsupported version, which is useful to know
but not essential. It might be more useful to know how installation fails on
versions older than the oldest supported version.)
I can think of more than two ways to solve Oliver's dilemma.
Rather than counting the ways, it is perhaps more relevant to determine whether
this project has the process capability to support a Windows release and, if
not, whether and how to obtain it. Scary thoughts.
As long as someone can build and someone can test the release versions
it should be possible.

Is anyone else building on Windows right now?
If not, we have a logistical problem. Oliver is not a committer, but
he is producing a good number of patches for the Windows build that no
one else seems to be testing and integrating.
I can think of two ways of solving this problem.
i am building on windows as well at the moment but have more or less the
same configuration as Oliver and i was waiting for somebody else with a
different system who would test it. I will test it tomorrow.

Hi,
I have created a patch to remove the Window build requirement on
unicows.dll
- see issue 88652 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=88652
The patch contains already the patch which c...@openoffice.org (Caolan
McNamara) has provided and attached to this issue.
Can someone please review and test the patch and commit it to the
reprository.
Thanks in advance,
Oliver.
