One of the biggest problems I think there is for win32 builds is that it's
usually pretty expensive (And tricky) to set up a build environment. For
example, i know i can build the basic binaries plus a fair few of the
extensions, but to build oracle, for example, would be hard because they
don't tend to give away software, or gd -- because there are few win32
builds that play nicely with the build.
I would like to see a couple (or more) people nominated and trained to build
win32 regularly. That means, we keep a list of all the packages (and
locations) that are necessary for win32 building, and a "tried and tested
method" of doing so.
Perhaps Daniel or Frank can find some time to put together some notes on
this.
